At Essa, Janho & Associates, LLC, we’re here to guide you through every step—from the scene of the accident to settlement or trial.
Immediately After the Accident
- Check for injuries and call 911: Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor. A medical record helps protect your health and your claim.
- Stay at the scene and gather evidence: Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, vehicle damage, and anything that may have contributed to the accident (such as a hazard or adverse weather conditions).
- Obtain contact information: Collect names, phone numbers, and insurance details from all parties involved, as well as any witnesses.
- Do not admit fault: Be polite, but avoid saying anything that could be interpreted as accepting responsibility.
Document Everything!

- Track missed work and related expenses
- Write down your memory of the event as soon as possible
