Understanding the right steps to take following your Manhattan car accident is essential to protecting your rights and interests.

If you are involved in an auto accident, call 911 immediately for medical attention, and exchange contact information with the other drivers involved. You should obtain their driver’s license state and number and insurance company name and policy number.

You will need to inform your own insurance company of the accident, but do not provide a written or recorded statement about the accident to an insurance representative until you first have determined the extent of your injuries and have consulted with an attorney.

Depending on the nature of the accident, once you have received medical care and contact information, you will need to consider legal action.
