Every year, thousands of people are injured in car accidents across Phoenix. If you’re one of them, knowing what to do next can protect your health, your finances, and your legal rights. Here’s what you need to know.

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Even if you feel okay, some injuries take time to show symptoms. Medical documentation is also crucial for any future legal claim.

2. Document the Scene and Gather Evidence

Take photos of the vehicles, damage, injuries, road conditions, and any signage. Get contact information from witnesses. This evidence could be essential for your case.

3. Don’t Admit Fault or Give Statements Without a Lawyer

Insurance companies may try to get you to say something that hurts your case. Be polite, but avoid making statements about fault until you’ve spoken to an attorney.

4. Report the Accident

Call the police and file an official report. In Arizona, you’re legally required to report accidents involving injury or damage over $1,000.

5. Contact a Phoenix Car Accident Lawyer

Arizona’s personal injury laws are complex. An experienced lawyer can help you navigate insurance claims, determine liability, and fight for full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
