Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Move to a safe spot if possible, check for injuries, call 911, and exchange information with the other driver. Take photos of the scene and vehicle positions if you're able, and avoid discussing fault before police arrive.
Where do most traffic accidents happen?
A large share of crashes occur at intersections, where turning movements, cross traffic, and signal timing create more opportunities for drivers to misjudge another vehicle's path.
What injuries are most common in car accidents?
Whiplash, bruising from seatbelts or airbags, and cuts from broken glass are common even in lower-speed crashes. Some injuries, like concussions, may not show symptoms right away, so a medical check after any collision is worth doing.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Menomonee Falls, WI
If you're involved in a crash in Menomonee Falls, start by getting checked out, even if you feel fine at the scene. Adrenaline can mask pain from an airbag deployment or a hard jolt, and some injuries surface hours or days later. Keep a copy of the police report once it's filed, and hold onto any photos or notes from the scene. If your vehicle needs repairs, get an estimate before agreeing to anything with an insurer, and don't sign off on a settlement until you understand the full scope of your injuries and costs.
