A car accident can leave you shaken, injured, and unsure of what to do next. In South Florida—where heavy traffic and fast-moving roads increase the risk of serious crashes—knowing how to respond can make all the difference for your safety, your recovery, and your legal rights.

At Brutus Law Group, we help car accident victims throughout West Palm Beach and Delray Beach pursue fair compensation—without paying anything upfront. Here’s what to do if you're ever involved in a crash.

---

1. Ensure Safety First

Move to a safe location if possible, turn on hazard lights, and check yourself and others for injuries. Call 911 if anyone is hurt, or if there’s significant damage or a dispute about what happened.

---

2. Document the Scene

Use your phone to take photos of the vehicles, license plates, road conditions, traffic signs, injuries, and anything else that might support your version of events. These images can become powerful evidence in your personal injury claim.

---

3. Exchange Information

Get the other driver’s name, contact details, insurance information, and license number. Be polite, but avoid discussing fault or apologizing—what you say can be used against you later.

---

4. Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel okay, it’s critical to see a doctor. Some injuries don’t show up right away. Prompt treatment also creates a medical record that links your injuries to the accident—an essential part of any injury claim.

---

5. Report the Accident

Under Florida law, most accidents involving injury or property damage over $500 must be reported. File a police report and obtain a copy—it will help strengthen your case.

---

6. Contact a Personal Injury Attorney

The earlier you speak with a personal injury attorney, the better. At Brutus Law Group, we’ll evaluate your case for free, explain your rights, and take on the insurance companies—so you don’t have to.

We handle cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win.
