Steps to Take After a Car Accident in Albuquerque

First, seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if injuries seem minor. Some conditions, such as concussions, internal injuries, or soft tissue damage, may not show symptoms right away. Medical documentation is also important if you later need to file an insurance claim.

Second, report the accident to law enforcement and obtain a copy of the official crash report. This report can provide important details about how the collision occurred and may be useful during insurance discussions.

Next, gather evidence, as long as it is safe to do so. Take photographs of vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signs, and any visible injuries. Collect contact and insurance information from other drivers involved, as well as contact details from any witnesses.

Finally, consider speaking with an Albuquerque car accident attorney before accepting any settlement from an insurance company. Insurance adjusters may attempt to resolve claims quickly, but early legal guidance can help ensure that your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other losses are fully considered.
