Steps that Should Be Taken After a Highway or Surface Street lane Change Accidents

1. Make sure you and those around you are safe.   The Safety of you and your loved ones is by far most important priority. If you or another person is injured immediately seek medical attention.
2. Do not attempt to talk with the other driver or motorcyclists regarding fault or apologies.  Any words you may have said can be used against you when you are seeking compensation for your damages and injuries.
3. Contact the local police department and report the trucking, motorcycle, or car accident.  If you have a trusted  personal injury attorney  contact him if you have any questions regarding the process.
4. If you are not injured and it is safe to do so ask the other driver for their, drivers license, truck registration information, contact information, and insurance documentation.  Take down all information.  If you have a high resolution camera phone ask the person if it is ok to take pictures of the documents you have asked for.
5. Tal to witnesses: If there are witnesses who can testify on your behalf asked them for their contact information.
6. Take Pictures and take notes as much as possible of all the damage to your vehicle, as well as the street lights, street address.
7. Always be careful who you talk to after a car accident. Always be weary of insurance adjusters as they can use what you have said against you and any chances of just compensation for your accident claim.
