Here are the steps you should follow after a vehicle accident resulting in personal injury.
• Never Admit Fault
Do not take responsibility for the accident; this means not admitting fault to anyone on the scene, including your passengers. Not only could your perception of the event be clouded and false, an admission could greatly affect your personal injury settlement.
• Get Medical Attention
Immediately seek attention from a physician. Just because you feel fine immediately following a wreck doesn’t mean you are. It is best to get everything diagnosed and examined quickly. An immediate medical report also proves the legitimacy of your personal injury claim and motivates the process.
• Take Pictures
A picture is truly worth a thousand words. After a wreck take pictures of the damage to the vehicles and the scene of the accident. If you are injured make sure that someone else take pictures.
• Take Notes
Try to take as many detailed personal notes as possible while the event is fresh on your mind. These personal notes can help a great deal when trying to settle your personal injury case.
• Police Report
Always get a copy of the police report. Make sure there are no errors or missing information. All of these factors can delay your person injury claim
