What to do after a Car Crash

AHD LAW • March 30, 2023

If you have been involved in a car crash, the first thing you should do is check yourself and your passengers for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call for medical assistance immediately.


Once everyone is safe, you should follow these steps:

  1. Call the police: Even if there are no serious injuries, you should always call the police to report the accident. They will create a report that can be used later when filing an insurance claim.
  2. Exchange information: Exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver(s) involved in the accident. Write down the make and model of their car, their license plate number, and their driver's license number.
  3. Take photos: Take photos of the accident scene, including the damage to all vehicles involved and any injuries you or your passengers have sustained. This evidence can be useful when filing an insurance claim.
  4. Get Medical Attention: You should get checked out by a medical doctor for any injuries you sustained to prevent further damage to your body and start the recovery process immediately.
  5. Seek legal advice: If you or your passengers have been seriously injured, it is important to seek legal advice from a personal injury lawyer. They can help you understand your legal rights and options.


Remember, it is crucial to remain calm and cooperative with everyone involved in the accident, including other drivers, passengers, and law enforcement officials.

Do I Need a Will?

By AHD LAW • March 30, 2023
Whether or not you need a last will and testament depends on your personal circumstances and preferences. If you have any assets or property that you would like to distribute after your death, then having a will can ensure that your wishes are followed. Without a will, your property will be distributed according to the laws of your state, which may not align with your wishes. A will can also help avoid family disputes and make the probate process smoother and less stressful for your loved ones.  If you have minor children, a will is particularly important as you can use it to name a guardian who will be responsible for their care in the event of your death. Overall, having a last will and testament can provide peace of mind and help ensure that your wishes are respected after your death. It's a good idea to speak with an attorney or estate planning professional to determine if a will is appropriate for your situation.
