What to do after a motor vehicle accident in Ontario

This week, personal injury lawyer Brenda Hollingsworth was interviewed on CTV Morning Live about what steps you should take after a car accident.  If you were a passenger, driver, pedestrian or cyclist, the number one priority should always be getting to safety and seeking medical attention.

Watch as Brenda describes these important steps in this video.

Brenda encourages people who are in an accident to phone the police and try to get them to attend the scene.  She encourages people not to leave the scene of the accident without the pertinent information from the other drivers involved.  She also encourages you to try to get photos of the position of the vehicles before they are moved.

If you need assistance after a motor vehicle collision, contact Auger Hollingsworth at 613 233-4529.
