What to Do After a Car Accident in Wauwatosa, WI
If you're involved in a crash, start by checking yourself and anyone nearby for injuries and calling 911 if anyone needs help. Move to a safe spot out of traffic if you're able to. Even if you feel fine, it's worth getting checked by a medical professional, since some injuries take hours or days to show symptoms.
Exchange information with other drivers involved and take photos of the vehicles, the road, and any visible damage if it's safe to do so. Ask for a copy of the official crash report once it's filed, and keep records of any medical visits or repair estimates that follow. If the crash involved an emergency vehicle, local authorities will typically conduct a separate review of the circumstances.
