What if the accident wasn’t my fault?

Even if the accident clearly wasn’t your fault, there are still important steps to take.

You should document what happened, get medical care if needed, and be careful when speaking with insurance companies. Fault is not always determined immediately, and details can matter later.

It’s common for people to assume everything will be handled automatically when the other driver is at fault. In reality, it can still help to understand your options and protect yourself early on.

If you’d like help reviewing what happened or want someone to follow up, I can help arrange that.
