There are a number of key steps to take after you have been involved in a car accident in Suffolk County, Long Island or anywhere in New York.  First and foremost, call 911 to get medical care.  At some point, you should attempt to exchange contact information with the other drivers involved.  You should be sure to get the names, addresses, driver’s license numbers and issuing state, their insurance company name and the policy number.  Also contact your own insurance company to let them know you’ve been in an accident.  It is important, however, not to give them a written or recorded statement about the accident.  You need to determine the full extent of your injuries before giving them a formal statement.  It is also advisable to get the advice of an experienced attorney.

After all of these tasks have been completed, you can decide whether legal action is an appropriate strategy.  You should consider the following:

• General Accident Claims
• Catastrophic Collisions
