After An Accident
What to do after an accident in Long Island City
Every situation is different, but these general steps can help protect your health and preserve information after an accident:
Get to safety and check for injuries. Move out of traffic if you can, and call 911 if anyone is hurt.
Report it. Ask police or emergency responders to come to the scene and make a report.
Get medical attention. Even if you feel okay, some injuries show up hours or days later. See a doctor.
Document the scene. Photograph vehicles, the roadway, any hazards, and your injuries. Note the time, weather, and exact location (an intersection or nearby landmark like Court Square or the waterfront helps).
Exchange and collect information. Get names, contact details, insurance and license information, and the names of any witnesses.
Be careful what you say. Stick to the facts with others involved; avoid guessing about fault.
Keep your records. Save medical bills, receipts, and any paperwork related to the incident.
Talk to a lawyer before giving a recorded statement to an insurer. A free consultation costs you nothing and can help you understand your options.
This is general safety and documentation guidance, not legal advice about your specific case.
