What to Do After a Car Accident in Lockport, NY
If you're involved in a two-car crash, start by checking yourself and any passengers for injuries before stepping out of the vehicle. Call 911 even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms, like whiplash or internal bruising, can take hours to appear. Wait for police or fire crews to arrive and document the scene if it's safe to do so. Afterward, see a doctor for a full evaluation and remember to keep copies of any medical records or reports filed by responding agencies. Taking these steps early can make a real difference in both your recovery and any insurance claims that follow.
