Every Colorado car accident is different. But no matter what, there are certain steps you should take right away after your collision. First, call 911 and wait at the scene of the accident for police to arrive. Depending on the location of your collision, a local police officer or state trooper from the Colorado State Police will respond to your accident. Also, if you or anyone else appears injured, ask the 911 dispatcher to send an ambulance. Your health should always come first. If you’re still at the scene of your accident and you’re healthy enough to do so, photograph your accident. Get the names and phone numbers of witnesses. Exchange information with the other driver.
Get medical attention as soon as possible. Then call a lawyer right away. The sooner you have an attorney advising you on your car accident claim or lawsuit, the better.
