After a Transportation Accident

If you were a passenger in a Metro, bus, Uber, or other transportation accident, you may wonder what to do next. Each situation will be different, but we can offer the following tips:

• Call 911 if anyone is seriously injured or the accident is blocking traffic.
• Remain at the scene, if possible, to get the information of the driver, his or her insurance, and the transportation company.
• Get the information of other passengers and any witnesses.
• Take photos with your phone or camera, if you have one on your person.
• Take notes regarding any details you remember, as memories can fade over time.
• Talk to an attorney about your legal options, who may be responsible, and what your case is worth.
• Do not accept any type of settlement or check from the insurance company unless you first consult with an attorney.
