If you are involved in any type of car accident, the first thing you should do is turn your attention to your health. Any injury, regardless of the type, should be treated by a medical professional.

At some point, you will also turn your attention to the condition of your vehicle. Here are some of the many property damage questions to address:

  • Are you able to drive your car?
  • Do you require a tow to a local body shop?
  • Is it possible for your car to be repaired, or is it totaled?
  • Is your car now worth less since you were involved in an accident?
