After a wreck
What to do after a car or truck wreck
- Get safe and call 911. Ask for police to come and make a report.
- Get medical care the same day, even if you feel fine. Some injuries show up later.
- Take photos of the vehicles, the road, your injuries and the other driver’s license and insurance card.
- Get names and phone numbers of anyone who saw the crash.
- Be careful with the other driver’s insurance company. Talk with a lawyer before giving a recorded statement or signing anything.
- Keep every bill, receipt and missed-work record.

Questions
Common questions
Does the first consultation cost anything?
For injury cases, your first consultation is free. Fees for other matters, including family law, depend on the case, so ask us when you call.
Do you handle cases outside Windsor?
Yes. We represent clients throughout Northeast North Carolina, including Beaufort, Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Edgecombe, Gates, Halifax, Hertford, Hyde, Martin, Northampton, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Pitt, Tyrrell and Washington counties and the Outer Banks.
Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
Be careful. Adjusters work for the insurance company. It’s a good idea to talk with a lawyer before giving a recorded statement or signing a release.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Anything you have: the crash report, photos, insurance letters, medical bills and the names of any witnesses. If you don’t have these yet, call anyway.
