After an Allentown vehicle injury accident: first, check yourself and your passengers to see if anyone suffered a personal injury. Even a minor rear-end car accident can cause personal injuries that are not immediately obvious. Call for medical help. If a passenger has neck or back pain, do not move them. Do not leave the scene of a Lehigh Valley car accident until you have exchanged information and talked to the Allentown police department. Next, move your car out of traffic. Turn off the ignition, set the parking brake and turn on your hazard flashers. Call the local police, especially if anyone suffered a Lehigh Valley personal injury or if a driver is acting confrontational. Take down the police officer’s name; contact information and the car accident report number so that you or your Lehigh Valley personal injury lawyer can remain in contact. Gather the name, phone number, license plate number, and auto insurance information of all drivers involved in the Allentown car accident. Then use your cell phone camera to photograph car damage, license plates, driver’s licenses and insurance cards and any skid marks or other evidence that may not be available for long. Last, contact an experienced Allentown Personal Injury Attorney for further legal advice and possible representation.
