Injury Lawyer in New Orleans Advises What to Do after an Auto Accident

The firm of Edward Womac, a well-respected injury lawyer in New Orleans, is providing some tips on what individuals should do after being involved in an auto accident.

New Orleans, LA (prHWY.com) January 14, 2013 - New Orleans, Louisiana (December 13, 2012) - The firm of Edward Womac, a well-respected injury lawyer in New Orleans, is providing some tips on what individuals should do after being involved in an auto accident.

The first tip is to not leave the scene of the accident and to check for injuries which you or other parties might have sustained. People should note their location and contact an ambulance right away if any injury could be serious.

Another important tip is to always contact the police, who will obtain and document information about the incident. You should note the names and contact details of the drivers, passengers, and witnesses, as well as take photographs.

A third tip is to seek medical attention at once. While it's important to document the accident, it is equally vital to get one's injuries assessed and treated as soon as possible. A doctor might recognize injuries that are not readily obvious and can document these as well. Some injuries, even serious ones, do not always reveal themselves immediately after an accident. A doctor can also help identify issues that could become a problem in the future.

The law firm also advises individuals not to admit responsibility for an accident, even if they think they are at fault. Investigations might determine that the other party, or both parties, are actually responsible. However, the firm emphasizes that people should cooperate with the police and give them the relevant information they need.

Finally, the practice urges individuals to contact an experienced accident lawyer in New Orleans right after such an incident. The Womac Law Firm will assess your case and provide advice for the best possible outcome. For more information, visit www.EdwardWomac.com.
