MR. JEFFREY T. ROBERTS: If you've been involved in an auto accident there are several things that you should do immediately. First and foremost is the police should be called to the scene of the accident so that a report can be done. And you should make sure that you get from the police officer his card or her card and the accident report number.
The next thing you should do is you should contact your own insurance company. Let them know you've been in an accident. They'll start the process of getting your car repaired. The next thing you should do is go and see a doctor or present to an emergency room. Often times it doesn't feel like you may have been injured, but the injuries will set in later. And the type of injuries that are commonly suffered in auto accidents if they go untreated can last and linger for a very long time and create far more problems down the road.
The next thing that I recommend you do is that you contact an attorney who specializes in auto accident cases. The Roberts Law Firm's attorneys are such specialists in auto accident cases.
