What Should You Do After a Multi-Car Crash on I-84 in Farmington, CT?
After a multi-car crash on I-84, you should seek medical attention, move to a safe spot, call for help, gather evidence, exchange information, notify your insurer, and speak with an attorney. Taking these steps early can strengthen any future claim.
If you are hurt, getting medical attention should come first. Some injuries like whiplash, concussions, and soft tissue damage may not show symptoms right away. A medical record created soon after the crash connects your treatment to the accident.
After you get medical help, move to a safe spot away from traffic. On a highway like I-84, staying in the travel lanes puts you at risk of a secondary crash. Pull onto the shoulder or behind a guardrail if you can do so safely.
Once you are in a safe spot, call 911 to report the crash. The Farmington Police Department can create an official report showing what happened, who was involved, and where the crash occurred. That report may also help document key details for your insurance claim.
While you are still at the scene, take photos of the vehicles, the road, and any visible damage. Pictures of skid marks, traffic signs, and vehicle positions help tell the full story. Save these photos in a separate folder so they are easy to find later.
Before you leave, exchange names, phone numbers, and insurance details with the other drivers. Write down the make, model, and plate number of each vehicle involved. If anyone saw the crash, ask for their contact information too.
After you leave, call your insurance company and report the wreck. Stick to the basic facts and avoid guessing about fault. What you say in that first call can affect your claim later.
Before you agree to any settlement, you should speak with a car accident attorney. A lawyer can review the details and explain whether an offer covers your full losses. Legal guidance can help you avoid low offers and missed deadlines.
