In the first days after a crash, the biggest risk isn’t only physical injury—it’s evidence slipping away and statements getting taken out of context.
If you can, prioritize:
- Medical care immediately (and follow-up visits as recommended). Injury symptoms can show up or worsen days later.
- Photos and details: road position, traffic signals involved, skid marks/impact points, and vehicle damage.
- Witness information: names and what they saw—especially at busy intersections and roadside pull-offs where people often stop and then move on.
- Police report number and any collision paperwork you receive.
- A simple timeline of what happened before impact (what you were doing, where you were headed, and what you noticed).
If you’re already searching for “AI help” because you want clarity quickly, that’s understandable. But in DUI crash cases, speed and organization matter only if the information is later used correctly by counsel.
