How We Handle Personal Injury Cases | Auto Accidents

Auto accident cases are won and lost based on the evidence obtained from the scene of the accident. If you have been involved in a car accident in Rochester, you should remember to do the following:

The other driver’s name, address, telephone number, and date of birth.
The other driver’s license number and insurance company name, including their policy number.
The attending police officer’s name and badge number.

If there were any witnesses at the scene you want to have their names, addresses and phone numbers.
Make sure you see a doctor or visit a hospital to document any injury.
Jot down notes regarding the car accident as soon as possible.

Put together a diagram of the car accident – make sure you note the street layout, arrangement of the vehicles and location of witnesses.
Get a photograph of the car accident scene if possible so you can document damage to the vehicles, and any of your injuries.
