Introduction

Being involved in an accident can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Knowing the right steps to take can protect your health and legal rights. This blog provides a step-by-step guide to follow immediately after an accident in Massachusetts.

Step 1: Ensure Safety

  • Move to a Safe Location: If possible, move your vehicle to the side of the road to prevent further accidents.
  • Check for Injuries: Assess yourself and others for injuries. Call 911 if medical assistance is needed.

Step 2: Call the Police

  • File a Police Report: Massachusetts law requires you to report accidents involving injuries, fatalities, or property damage over $1,000.
  • Provide Accurate Information: Cooperate with the responding officers and ensure the report is filed accurately.

Step 3: Gather Evidence

  • Take Photos: Document the scene, including vehicle damage, road conditions, and injuries.
  • Collect Witness Information: Obtain contact details from any witnesses.
  • Exchange Information: Share your name, address, and insurance details with the other party.

Step 4: Seek Medical Attention

  • Visit a Doctor: Even if you feel fine, get a medical evaluation to rule out hidden injuries.
  • Keep Records: Save all medical reports and receipts related to the accident.

Step 5: Notify Your Insurance Company

  • Report the Accident Promptly: Contact your insurer to begin the claims process.
  • Provide Facts Only: Avoid speculating about fault or providing unnecessary details.

Step 6: Consult an Attorney

  • Protect Your Rights: An experienced attorney can guide you through the legal and insurance processes.
  • Avoid Mistakes: Legal counsel ensures you don’t inadvertently harm your case.
