In this episode of Law Talk, attorney Michael Donlon discusses something that happens frequently during the month of July-September when the majority of Americans drive more than any other time of the year. Car crashes and what to do if you are involved in a motor vehicle crash?

He discusses 5 points of what to do if you are involved in a crash, which goes from calling 911, to formally documenting the incident. He discusses some of the legal requirements and timelines that you have to file certain items. If some of them are not completed could result in criminal penalties including serious fines and even jail time. Your driver’s license could also be suspended.

He discusses what to look for when seeking an attorney to represent you if you choose that you need one.
