What to Do After a Car Accident

The steps you take right after an accident can affect your case before you even realize it. If you're able to:

Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine — some injuries take time to show symptoms.
Document the scene with photos, and get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Contact IJA Law Group as soon as possible to protect your right to compensation.

Need Help Right Now?

If you or someone you love was just injured, don't wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and New York and New Jersey both impose strict deadlines for filing a claim. Reach out today, by phone, text, or message, whichever is easiest for you.
