If you have been in a car accident in Slidell, LA, the first thing you should do is call the police. The Slidell Police Department will send an officer to the scene to investigate the accident, determine fault and file a report. You should also exchange information with the other driver, including your name, contact information, and insurance information.
Once the police have completed their investigation, you and any passengers should go to Slidell Memorial Hospital to be evaluated by a doctor. If you have any injuries, they will be able to treat you and provide you with the necessary care. If you choose not to go to the hospital, you may be able to go to a local urgent care center or your primary care physician. In either case, it is important to get checked out by a medical professional as soon as possible after an accident.
Once you have taken these steps, you can contact an experienced car accident lawyer to discuss your legal options and help you pursue compensation for your injuries.
