I am trying to understand what exact steps someone should take after a car accident in Decatur because there is so much mixed advice online and I want real experiences. When people talk about steps after a car accident, what do they actually mean in practical terms? Is it mainly about safety first or more about legal protection?
I know safety comes first but what should be the real priority in the first few minutes? Should we always call the police even if the accident feels minor? How important is it to take photos and videos from the scene, and should we record conversations as well?
I am also confused about medical checks. If someone feels fine at the moment should they still visit a doctor the same day? Many people say hidden injuries show up later, so are medical records one of the most critical steps after a car accident?
Another thing I keep hearing is to avoid admitting fault. How does someone communicate respectfully without saying something that could be used against them later? Should witnesses be contacted on the spot or is relying on the police report enough?
At what point does it make sense to speak with a lawyer instead of just the insurance company? Has anyone here consulted The Super Lawyer attorney and did it actually help with compensation or claims? From real experience, what steps after a car accident made the biggest difference in the final outcome?
