With the winter weather approaching the number of accidents are expected to almost double. One car accident lawyer Craig Swapp has recently provided some useful information on how to prevent an accident in this adverse weather as well as what to do after a crash does occur. He appeared on “Good Things Utah” a morning television show.
Here is a brief overview of the advice he shared:
1. Slow down. It seems obvious but many people are simply used to rushing their way to work or to pick up their kids from school and those habits don’t change which puts them and the other drivers around them in danger.
2. Keep up with the maintenance of your vehicle. Daily wear often goes unnoticed or simply ignored especially when it comes to tires. Bald tires are no good on wet or icy roads. A fresh set is best for the winter season.
3. Notify the authorities of the crash. Even if they do not come to the scene it is always best to have an official record of the incident.
4. Do not forget to collect the other driver’s information and take photos and videos of the scene.
5. Never admit to fault. This is a call that should be made by authorities.
