The Wallace Wins Process

• 01 First Steps After an Accident

  When an accident of any kind occurs, the first thing you need to do is make sure you’re out of harm’s way. If you’re able to move, move to a safe area so that you won’t be injured any further. Also, try to note as many things as possible at the scene of the accident. Take pictures of the scene and get the names of any witnesses to your accident.

• 02 Seek Medical Treatment

  When you’ve been injured in an accident, getting medical treatment needs to be your top priority. Even if you don’t think you’ve been injured, it’s still important to get checked by a doctor because, in some cases, the symptoms of an injury can take time to show. Not only is it important for you to take care of yourself, getting medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident makes it harder for liable parties to deny responsibility for your injuries.

• 03 Report the Accident

  After an accident, don’t forget to make sure all necessary parties are notified. This can vary depending on the nature of your accident. For example, in car accident cases, you would need to report the accident to the police, the California DMV, and your insurance company. Or if you have a slip and fall accident in a store, you should report the accident to store management.
