First Steps After a Serious Accident
Whether it’s a car crash or a factory injury, call 911 and make sure everyone gets medical attention. These early moments matter.
Why Medical Help Comes First
Many injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Head trauma, spinal injuries, or internal bleeding can be fatal if ignored. Always go to the ER — it protects your health and your case.
Preserve Evidence at the Scene
- Take pictures
- Get witness contact info
- Note street signs, weather, and conditions
- Ask for a copy of the police report.
- In Gwinnett, busy intersections are common crash sites. In Hall County, we’ve seen many pedestrian and workplace accidents tied to poultry plant operations.
Avoid These Insurance Pitfalls
- Never say “I’m sorry” at the scene
- Don’t give recorded statements to insurance adjusters
- Never accept a check without legal review
