What Happens When the Police Do Not Respond to a Car Accident Scene?

You were involved in a car accident. You called the police, but since you aren’t bleeding on the roadway, they won’t come to the accident scene. What should you do after the car accident, while you are still at the accident scene? If you were involved in an auto accident and the police have declined to respond to the accident scene, there are few steps you can take to document the accident.
 
Step 1
Exchange Information.  After an accident, ask the other driver for their insurance information. They are required by law to have it with them at all times while they are driving on the Las Vegas roadways.
 
Step 2
Witnesses.  Sometimes, the word of a disinterested witness can decide your case. If there were any witnesses to the car accident, get their names and contact information. Only you can get this information. Ask them for their cel phone number and email as well as their home address and where they work. People tend to move or change phone numbers. So, if you have multiple ways to contact the person, if one way is no longer good, you will have other ways of getting a hold of that person, when it comes time for them to provide their version of events.    

Step 3
Take Pictures.  Take pictures of the areas of your car that were damaged in the accident. Also, remember to take photos of the damage to the other car involved in the accident. It would also be important to photograph the accident scene, including the intersection and the location of where both of your cars ended up after the crash.
 
If you are injured, seek immediate medical attention and speak to a knowledgeable personal injury attorney.

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence [1]   confirms that marijuana use leads to impaired drivers: “Since marijuana is the second most commonly used drug associated with drinking and drugged driving after alcohol, it is important to understand why it is particularly dangerous.   THC, the high producing element in marijuana, affects areas of the brain that control body movements, balance, coordination, memory, and judgment.  Evidence from both real and simulated driving studies indicate that marijuana negatively affects a driver’s attentiveness, perception of time and speed, and ability to draw on information obtained from past experiences. Research also shows that impairment increases significantly when marijuana use is combined with alcohol. Studies have found that many drivers test positive for alcohol and THC, making it clear that drinking and drugged driving are often linked behaviors.” All 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws ...
