Top 5 Things You MUST Do After a Car Crash – The R.E.A.C.T. Method
Car accidents are stressful and chaotic, but knowing exactly what to do next can protect your health, legal rights, and financial compensation. This guide follows the R.E.A.C.T. method, a simple yet powerful way to handle a car crash like a pro.
R.E.A.C.T. = 5 Essential Steps for Crash Victims
✅ R = Remain Calm
✅ E = Ensure Safety
✅ A = Assess & Document
✅ C = Contact Authorities
✅ T = Talk to a Personal Injury Lawyer
Let’s break it down. 👇
- R = Remain Calm – The #1 Rule After an Accident
- Breathe deeply and collect your thoughts. Panicking can make things worse.
- If you have kids or passengers, reassure them—your reaction sets the tone.
- DO NOT argue or fight with the other driver. If they get aggressive, stay in your vehicle and call 911.
- E = Ensure Safety – Protect Yourself & Others
- Check yourself and passengers for injuries—if anyone is hurt, call an ambulance immediately.
- If safe to do so, move your vehicle to the side of the road to avoid further collisions.
- Turn on hazard lights to warn other drivers.
- If another driver seems impaired or aggressive, avoid confrontation.
- A = Assess & Document – Gather Critical Evidence
- Take photos of everything:
🔹 Your car and damage
🔹 The other driver’s car
🔹 The license plates
🔹 Road conditions, traffic lights, and skid marks - Record witness statements—a quick video can make a huge difference in your case.
- Get the other driver’s information (name, phone, insurance details).
- Write down what happened as soon as possible—details fade fast!
- C = Contact Authorities – Why You MUST Call the Police
- NEVER agree to “settle privately.” If the other driver wants to avoid police, that’s a red flag!
- The police report is crucial for proving fault and helping with insurance claims.
- Police can verify:
🔹 The other driver’s identity and insurance
🔹 If they were under the influence
🔹 Statements from all parties involved - Many officers wear body cameras, which can provide extra evidence in your favor.
- T = Talk to a Lawyer – Protect Your Rights!
- DO NOT trust the insurance adjuster. Their goal is to pay you as little as possible.
- A personal injury lawyer can:
🔹 Fight for the compensation you deserve
🔹 Ensure all damages (including hidden injuries) are covered
🔹 Help you get medical care, even if you don’t have a doctor - Your case is worth more than you think! Many people don’t realize they’re entitled to a diminished value claim—insurance companies won’t tell you this!
