Injured in a car accident?

Screeching brakes, police sirens, phone calls, ambulances – this may sound like an action movie, but this is the reality of car accidents in America. The aforementioned sounds are most likely some of the few details you will remember if you were involved in a car accident. An auto accident can happen within seconds and shock, anxiety as well as injuries obtained during the accident can blur your recollection of the events.

Many people, from the passengers of the vehicles to the drivers and eye witnesses will recall the chain of events differently. Car accident injuries can have long-lasting, potentially life changing effects on people. Your life may never be the same again, but you don’t have to be a victim of the situation – make sure you get and follow the right steps to get your rightfully deserved compensation!

What to do next

Road accidents happen within the blink of an eye and the legal, medical and ethical procedures you need to follow after the accident can be quite confusing. Make sure you do these things after you are injured in a car accident to make sure you get the compensation you need:

• Report the accident to the police (you will need the police report to file an auto accident claim).
• Gather information. Get contact details of witnesses at the scene (they may have to be contacted for statements) and take pictures of the accident scene.
• File a car accident claim as soon as possible.
• See a medical doctor so that all your immediate injuries are documented.
• Document time away from work. If you lose wages due to time spent away from work, you may also be able to claim this money from the at-fault party’s insurance company.
• Get your numbers ready. Make sure you have correct property damage figures for your vehicle as well as medical bills (also include the figure of future medical attention that you may need).
• Don’t speak openly about your car accident claim. It is best to be careful of who you are speaking to - if the other driver’s insurance company contacts you for information or comments, ask them to speak to your car accident lawyers or insurance company (you may say something that could jeopardize your case).
