Car Accident in Aspen: What to Do + Insurance Steps

After a crash, the right steps protect both your health and your claim. Insurance companies often begin building their defense immediately—so documentation matters.

Step-by-step: what to do after a crash

  1. Get medical attention and document symptoms early.

  2. Report the crash and request a copy of the report when available.

  3. Photograph the scene (vehicles, road, signs, weather, injuries).

  4. Collect witness information if possible.

  5. Avoid recorded statements to insurers before getting advice.

  6. Track treatment and restrictions (work limits, pain changes, follow-ups).
