Steps to Take After an Accident
Seek Medical Help
Your health should be your number one priority. After an accident or any other injury, your first step should be to seek medical help. Not only will this keep you healthy, but not getting medical documentation could affect your compensation benefits. Don't wait before getting help.
Document Everything
Without proper documentation, this could affect the compensation you would otherwise have been entitled to. Worse, it could affect the insurance company's decision on who was liable for the accident, possibly holding you liable even if it was the fault of the other driver.
Consult an Attorney
Getting the legal guidance of an attorney can make all the difference in your claim. An attorney can investigate all the aspects of your case, help you understand your options, and advocate for you in and out of court. Don't face any legal aspects of your accident alone.
