We offer the following advice for what to do after a serious injury:
- At the scene of the accident: When an accident occurs, determine if emergency medical assistance is needed and if so, call the paramedics. In many accidents, such as car accidents, the police should also be called to the scene. Exchange insurance information with the other people involved and take down the names and contact information of any witnesses. Call your own insurance company as soon as possible to let it know what happened.
- Seek medical attention: Getting medical attention should be your first priority. If you need help finding a doctor, call our law office and we can refer you to one. Make sure to clearly explain all of your symptoms and tell your doctor to record them in your medical record.
- Hire a personal injury attorney: After you've received medical care, talk to a personal injury lawyer. It is important to select a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible, preferably before you contact the negligent party's insurance carrier.
