When you are involved in a serious car accident in Nassau County, knowing the right steps to take, and when to take them, is critical to protecting your rights and interests.

First, you should call 911 to ensure any injured victims receive immediate medical attention.  It is then important to exchange contact information with the other drivers, collecting their driver’s license state and number, as well as their insurance company name and policy number.

You will need to notify your own insurance company of the accident, but do not provide a written or recorded statement about the accident to an insurance representative until you have learned the extent of your injuries and spoken with an attorney.

Once you have assessed your injuries, the extent of property damage, and the cause of the accident, you may consider taking legal action.  If another driver was to blame for the accident, you may be eligible for financial compensation.
