Call the local Akron or relevant police depratment to report the accident and get an official report. While you wait, try to get names, phone numbers, and insurance details with the other driver. Do not apologize or argue about who caused the crash. Use your cell phone to take clear photos of the car damage, the street, and any road signs. If anyone saw the crash, write down their contact information. Finally, call your insurance company to report the incident as soon as you can.

You may be eligible to recover economic damages (such as emergency room bills, ongoing therapy, and lost wages) as well as non-economic damages (such as physical pain, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life).

Should I speak to the insurance adjuster before hiring a lawyer?
