Notify These People If You Get Into A New Haven Auto Accident

If you have been in a New Haven auto accident, dealing with the aftermath can be all consuming. If you were in an accident, you should do the following:

1. Gather necessary information. The driver that crashed into you is responsible for reporting the incident to their own insurance company, but you should make sure you contact the insurer as well. Make sure you obtain their driver’s name/address, insurance policy number/name, statements/contact information from witnesses, and photographs from the scene.
2. Notify the right people. Inform the other driver’s insurance company you were in an accident. The police report will likely determine which driver was at fault, but also notify your own insurance company to show good faith practices in reporting the accident.
3. Seek medical treatment. The other driver’s insurance company may require you to obtain an authorization prior to being seen by a doctor after an accident. Ask for authorization and for them to email it to you.
4. Consult an attorney. If you were injured, you may want to see the counsel of a New Haven auto accident attorney. Experienced attorneys, like those at The LoRicco Law Firm, can help you fight the insurance company to obtain compensation for your injuries.
