What to Do After a Car Accident in Fort Lauderdale
Protecting your rights after a crash begins at the scene and continues with the choices you make in the days that follow. If you’ve been injured, contacting Stockwell Law as soon as possible helps ensure your case is handled correctly from the very beginning. After an accident, call 911 to report what happened and request emergency medical help if needed, then move to a safe location without leaving the scene before law enforcement arrives.
Exchange contact, insurance, and vehicle details with all drivers involved, and take photos of the damage, the roadway, the surroundings, and any visible injuries. Speak to any witnesses and gather their names and contact information, and be sure to request a copy of the police report once it becomes available. Even if your injuries feel minor, get a full medical evaluation to document your condition, and notify your insurance company of the crash while avoiding detailed statements. Keep all records, receipts, medical paperwork, and insurance documents organized, and reach out to Stockwell Law as soon as possible so your rights are protected and your personal injury claim can be built with strength from day one.
