WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU’VE BEEN INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT

If you have been injured in an accident, your first priority should be to take care of your health. This means you should seek medical attention immediately for any injuries sustained in the accident. Once you have received the medical attention that you need, you should follow your doctor’s orders and attend each scheduled appointment for medical treatment to ensure that you will recover.
Another important step is gathering information with regard to your accident. If you have been involved in an automobile accident, the responding authorities will usually prepare a police report listing much of the important information that you will need to pursue your claim. The police report will usually contain information on the drivers, the witnesses, the road conditions, and insurance information. It is helpful to record relevant information as soon as possible after the accident. Useful information includes the weather and road conditions, names and telephone numbers of witnesses, pictures of your vehicle, your injuries, and the accident scene, and a diagram of the accident. Our personal injury information form should help you gather the information you need.
