Oakville Injury Lawyer Home
 

I was just involved in a car accident in Oakville, Ontario. What should have I done?

  1. Call the police if someone was injured or you suspect the other driver involved has committed a criminal offense such as driving while intoxicated.
  2. Do not admit to liability or agree to pay for damages.
  3. Get the name and phone numbers of witnesses. Write down all the important details concerning the other driver and/or owner of the car including:
    • Name
    • Address
    • Contact number(s)
    • Vehicle licence plate, make and model
    • Driver’s licence number
    • The other driver’s insurance company and policy number
  4. If possible, take pictures of the accident and your injuries.
  5. Consult a doctor if you have been injured.
  6. If the police were not called on the scene, at least report the incident to the police accident centre.
  7. If you, or another person in your vehicle, were injured seek the advice of a personal injury lawyer to assess whether you have the right to claim benefits or damages.
