What to do following a car accident in a COVID-19 world

These days, exchanging information with a stranger following a car accident is a little different given the state of the world. However, we can still gather all of the necessary information quickly and safely.

At Sears Injury Law, we suggest:

1. Ask the other driver to hold up both their insurance card and their driver’s license. Take a picture of each.
2. Take photographs or videos of the damage of your vehicle and the other vehicle.
3. If the accident was the other driver’s fault, request their permission to record a video of them admitting that they caused the accident.
4. Call the police and request that they come to the scene.
5. Call our office for a consultation either in office, over zoom, Facetime, or telephone. Our offices are cleaned and sanitized daily and our staff will be adhering to State guidelines on the use of masks and other safety equipment.
