After a suspected DUI crash, your first priority should be medical care and documentation. In Pennsylvania, evidence can become harder to obtain as days pass, especially if the vehicle is repaired quickly or dash footage is overwritten.
In the first 24–72 hours, focus on:**
- Get treatment and follow-up care (even if symptoms seem “manageable”).
- Request the police report and keep the case number.
- Write down what you remember: vehicle direction, speed you estimated, traffic signals/intersection details, lane position, and any witnesses.
- Save everything: medical paperwork, prescriptions, time missed from work, towing/repairs, and mileage to appointments.
- Avoid guessing in statements to insurers—stick to what you personally know.
