We know the last thing on your mind after a crash is a checklist. But a few steps in those first hours can make a real difference for your health and your case down the road.
- Call 911 and get medical attention, even if you feel "okay." Adrenaline hides injuries, and a documented exam creates the first record tying your injuries to the crash.
- Take photos of the vehicles, the road, and anything else that tells the story of what happened.
- Get names and insurance information from everyone involved, plus contact info for any witnesses.
- Report the accident to your own insurer to start your Michigan No-Fault PIP claim, since those benefits have their own strict deadlines.
