Report the accident

About 5,000-6,000 car crashes occurred yearly in the Longmont area; perhaps you were involved in one. If you have been involved in a car accident in Colorado, you must report the car accident to the police in certain circumstances; if someone is injured, someone dies, or public property has been damaged as a result of the accident, Colorado law requires you report the accident to the police immediately. You must also immediately report the accident if a driver leaves the scene or appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

However, even if you are not required to report the accident under Colorado law, you should still call the police immediately after the accident so that there is a record of it. When the police arrive on the scene, they will ask those involved what happened; they will also speak to any witnesses who may have seen what happened. They will ask for the name, contact, and insurance information of those involved; all of this information will be included in the police officer’s accident report.

Accident reports are public records, and you can request a copy online at the Colorado DMV website. It costs $10 to obtain a copy of the accident report, which requires that you fill out a Requestor Release and Affidavit of Intended Use form.

When filling out this form, you will need to know your own information, information about the accident, and your intended use for the report. The form lists certain categories of uses of the report as permissible. After you submit the form, it takes about 90 days for a copy to be created and sent to you.

When you call the police to report the accident, it is not guaranteed they will come to the scene, especially if the accident is minor and no one was injured or no property was damaged. If the police do not come to the scene of the accident, immediately after the accident you should go to the nearest police station to create an accident report yourself. You can also create a report online at the Colorado DMV website.

Creating a report online requires you to fill out your name, date of birth, address, and the location, time and date of the accident. You may also want to include in the report any other information you may have documented about the accident.

Document the accident

In order to create an accident report on your own after the accident, it is very important that you document the accident while you are at the scene. This information can also be useful for your CO if you choose to file a personal injury lawsuit against those responsible for the accident.

One way to document the accident is through photographs. You may want to photograph:

Your injuries
Injuries to passengers
Injuries to other drivers involved
Damage to the exterior and interior of your vehicle
Damage to the exterior and interior of other vehicles involved
Location where the accident occurred

Another way to document the accident is to write information down on paper or in your cell phone. If you write things down on a piece of paper, be sure to keep it somewhere where you will be able to find it later to give to your Longmont personal injury lawyer. Important information to write down includes:

Contact information of the other driver(s) involved (name, e-mail, phone number, etc.)
Contact information of any passengers
Contact information of any witnesses
License plate numbers
Insurance information, including policy number
Make, model, and other defining characteristics of the other cars involved
Time and location of the accident

You may also want to write down how the accident occurred from your point of view. You could document what you were doing just before the accident, where you were driving to and from, and any other details you think may be important to remember. Once hired, your Longmont personal injury attorney can begin to investigate more quickly if they have all of the details you can give them.

After documenting the other drivers’ and passengers’ contact information, you should provide them with your name, contact, and insurance information so that they will be able to reach you. If you are uncomfortable providing your information to strangers, if the police are dispatched to the scene, you can wait until they arrive and they can help you exchange information.

Seek medical attention

You may have suffered injuries as a result of the accident. These injuries may present themselves immediately after the accident, but sometimes you might not realize you have been injured until hours or even days later. This is why it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after a car accident, because you may be suffering from unexpected injuries.

Common injuries that occur as a result of a car accident include:

Whiplash
Concussions and other head injuries
Cuts
Bruises
Broken bones, particularly ribs
Internal bleeding

When you visit the doctor, they will perform a physical examination, checking you for the above common injuries. They may also recommend you get x-rays or scans to determine whether you have any internal bleeding or broken bones.

Once your doctor determines your injuries, they will prescribe a treatment plan for you. This can include taking medication, wearing a sling or cast for any broken bones, or going to rehabilitation to improve movement functions. Follow your doctor’s treatment plan to ensure your physical injuries fully heal.

You may also suffer from emotional injuries, such as guilt, anxiety, fears of driving, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Signs of PTSD include vivid flashbacks of the accident, nightmares, trouble sleeping, and other intense emotional reactions. Emotional injuries are treated differently than physical injuries, and can last for years after the accident.

To determine if you are suffering from emotional injuries, you should see a psychologist after the accident; a psychologist can counsel you to overcome feelings of guilt, anxiety, or fears of driving. You will likely meet weekly with a psychologist, who will act as a therapist to help you overcome emotional injuries. A psychologist may also refer you to a psychiatrist, who can prescribe medication to help relieve your emotional injuries.

notify your insurance company

If you have car insurance, notify your insurance company of the accident within 24 hours. This will allow your insurance company to cover any injuries you suffered or damage done to your vehicle.

When speaking with your insurance company, provide them with the information you documented while at the scene of the accident, such as the contact information of the other drivers and witnesses. Be sure to only tell them the facts, and leave out any emotions you may feel relating to the accident. Although your insurance company is on your side and wants to help minimize the amount you have to pay out of pocket for damage done to you and your vehicle, insurance companies have hundreds of policies to pay out and may use anything you say against you to reduce your payout.

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Ben Abbas and Neil Solomon. Since my fiance was hit by an 18-wheeler nearly lost his life and now struggles with persistent pain and has to use a cane on top of a litany of other health issues as a result of the accident, Ben and Neil fought hard on my fiance's case because it was a very complex case involving multiple parties. But not only did they fight hard for us on my fiance's case, when the man of the house and the breadwinner is unable to even walk without a walker for a little over a year and has had to spend two years fighting for disability, and as I've been supporting my fiance because that's what you do when you're loyal to who you love but it's difficult when you lose the breadwinner and they're not able to work, Ben and Neil helped us navigate the legal loan process and they have been instrumental in keeping us afloat. They always respond quickly often within a few minutes and get the paperwork processed almost every single time in the same day. We would have lost everything if it wasn't for them. We are so grateful for them and everything they have done for us. There are something like real life superheroes and if you're looking for a law firm from any kind of injury or accident, we strongly recommend them and Zinda Law Group. Because I can almost guarantee nobody will work harder for you than they will

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words. It's our mission to provide exceptional legal representation to our clients, and we're thrilled to hear that we were able to make a positive impact on your lives.
