What Should You Do When You’ve Been Injured?
1
Seek Medical Treatment
& Document Your Injuries
After an accident, prioritize your health and well-being by seeking immediate medical treatment, even if you believe your injuries are minor. Some injuries may have delayed symptoms or worsen over time. Additionally, keep detailed records of your medical treatment, including diagnoses, prescriptions, and any ongoing therapy or rehabilitation. This documentation will serve as crucial evidence for your claim.
2
Gather Evidence and Witness Statements
Collect as much evidence as possible to support your accident claim. Take photographs of the accident scene, any visible injuries, and property damage. If there were witnesses present, obtain their contact information and ask if they would be willing to provide a statement. Additionally, keep all relevant documents, such as police reports, accident reports, and insurance correspondence. These pieces of evidence can significantly strengthen your case.
