Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do right after a car accident?
Check for injuries, call 911 if anyone needs medical help, and move to a safe spot if the vehicle is drivable. Exchange information with others involved and, if you're able, take photos of the scene before anything is moved.
Where do crashes like this most often happen?
Vehicles striking buildings often happen near parking lots, driveways, or roadside businesses where a car exits traffic, or a driver loses control close to a storefront.
What can drivers do to avoid this kind of crash?
Slowing down near driveways and business entrances, double-checking pedal placement before accelerating, and staying alert for mechanical issues can help prevent a vehicle from veering into a structure.
What injuries are common when a vehicle hits a building?
People inside the vehicle or nearby can suffer cuts, bruises, broken bones, or head and neck injuries from the impact and sudden stop. Anyone involved should still be checked by a doctor even if injuries seem minor at first.
What to Do After a Vehicle-Into-Building Crash in Hendersonville, NC
If you're involved in or near a crash in which a vehicle strikes a structure, get clear of the building first, as it may be unstable. Seek medical evaluation even if you feel fine, since adrenaline can mask pain from soft tissue or head injuries. Keep a record of what emergency responders tell you, note the names of responding agencies, and follow up with your own doctor in the days after if symptoms appear. If you own or work in a business that's been struck, document the damage with photos before cleanup begins and keep any paperwork from police or fire officials for your records.
