What You Should Do If You Were in an Accident in Indianapolis
Being in an accident can be nerve-wracking, but it’s important that you try to keep calm and take the following steps:
- Get Medical Attention: As soon as possible after the accident go to the emergency room or your doctor. Some injuries don’t show up immediately, and it’s important that your doctor examine you.
- Collect Evidence: If you are able, take photos of the accident scene. Additionally, you should get the names and contact information of any potential witnesses to your accident. You should also gather together any medical bills and correspondence from any insurance company.
- Request a Copy of the Accident Report: You should be able to get a copy of your accident/crash report by going to BuyCrash.com or by calling the police department that responded to your accident. In Indianapolis, that could be the:
