Steps to Take After a Multi-Vehicle Crash in Murfreesboro

Being involved in a crash can be overwhelming, but taking the right steps immediately afterward can protect your safety and legal rights:

1. Check for injuries and call 911: Make sure everyone is safe and request medical assistance if needed. Even if injuries seem minor, some conditions like internal bleeding or whiplash may not be immediately apparent.
2. Move to a safe location: If possible, relocate vehicles to prevent further accidents while keeping the scene intact for investigation. Turn on hazard lights and, if safe, set up warning triangles or flares to alert other drivers.
3. Document the scene: Take photos of all vehicles, license plates, road conditions, skid marks, traffic signals, and any visible injuries. Detailed notes and pictures can be valuable for insurance claims or legal proceedings.
4. Exchange information: Get the names, contact info, and insurance details of all drivers involved. Also note vehicle makes, models, and license plate numbers for accuracy.
5. Collect witness statements: Ask bystanders for contact info and their account of what happened. Witnesses can provide important perspectives that may help establish fault.
6. Seek medical attention promptly: Even minor injuries should be evaluated, as some issues may not appear immediately. Keep copies of all medical records, prescriptions, and bills.
7. Notify your insurance company: Report the accident to your insurer as soon as possible and provide accurate information. Avoid admitting fault or making statements that could be misinterpreted.
8. Consult an attorney: A qualified Murfreesboro auto accident lawyer can help protect your rights, communicate with insurers, and guide you through potential claims for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses. They can also ensure deadlines under Tennessee law are met and that your case is handled professionally.
