If you are injured by a drunk driver, here are a few steps we recommend that you take:

Call 911 for Immediate Medical Attention

Call for medical attention and the police. If you are injured, get medical attention right away!

Be sure to speak to the police to give your statement whether at the scene or at the hospital if you were taken by ambulance. If you remained at the scene until the police got there, try to have the drunk driver remain at the scene to give his statement.

The first course of action from a drunk driver is to flee the scene. If he or she tries to do that, please take a picture of anything you can and make sure you get the license plate of the vehicle. If the drunk driver remained at the scene, do not let him or her convince you not to call the police.

Accidents including drunk drivers must always be documented on a police report whether at the scene of the accident or as soon as you are capable to make a report.

Get the Name and Phone Number of Independent Witnesses

Independent witnesses are people who are not related to anyone involved in the accident but witnessed the accident. Stories change and it is important to get the statement from people who saw everything. Get their name and phone number so that if either your attorney or the insurance wants a statement from witnesses, they can provide it.

Most people rely upon the police officers but some witnesses do not wait until the police arrives and leave the scene of the accident before you have time to get their information. If you were taken by the ambulance and are unable to get the witnesses information, ask a family member or friend or anyone at the scene to get it for you.
