What Should I Do After a Crash on a Delaware Road?

If you are involved in a crash, call 911 right away so police and medical help can respond. Even if you feel fine, it is a good idea to get checked by a doctor, since some injuries do not show symptoms right away. Take photos of the vehicles, the road, and any visible damage before things are moved. Ask for the police report number so you can get a copy later. Be careful about giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you understand your rights.

At Murphy & Landon, we are a Wilmington law firm that represents people hurt in crashes across Delaware. We never represent insurance companies. If you were injured in a crash and have questions about your rights, you can speak with a car accident lawyer or call 302-472-8100 for a free consultation.
