DO take photographs of all of the following, as applicable, as soon as possible after the accident:
- The scene of the accident from all angles
- The surrounding area
- Your injuries
- Any property damage

DO be honest and forthcoming with your attorney. It is in your best interest that your attorney knows all of the facts.

DON'T sign any papers nor agree to any damages;
DON'T give statements to the other driver's insurance company, offer only the very basics.
DON'T take any money for your injuries or settlement until you have finished treatment;
DON'T agree to any settlement or accept a check that says "final payment" before speaking to an attorney; and
DON'T hire just any attorney.
