What Should You Do if You Are Injured in a Car Accident in Tampa?

So, if you get in a car accident in Tampa, Florida, first of all, the most important thing is to not get out of your car and not move your vehicle. You want to dial 911. You want the police on scene if you’re injured. You want a rescue on scene. And the reason you don’t get out of your car is obviously there’s a lot happening around your vehicle and you don’t want to get hit by another vehicle. It’s dangerous. Number two, if you have injuries, you can exacerbate your injuries by getting out and moving. Lastly, you don’t want to move your vehicle because you want to prove that the other driver is at fault. And when the police officer arrives and you tell him your story based on the positioning of your vehicle, he’s going to be able to piece together how the accident happened. Never make a deal with the other driver. Never accept insurance information in exchange and leave the scene.
