Did You Know?

Being involved in a car accident can be overwhelming, but knowing what to do next is essential for protecting your rights. Here are important steps to consider:

Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Even if you feel fine, some injuries may not be immediately visible. It’s important to have a medical professional evaluate your condition within 14 days of the accident to preserve your rights.

Document the Scene: Capture details at the scene, including photos of the accident, the vehicles involved, and any visible injuries. Collect contact information from witnesses and the other driver.

Report the Accident: Notify law enforcement about the accident. A police report can provide valuable documentation for insurance claims.

Notify Your Insurance Company: Inform your insurer about the accident as soon as possible. Provide them with the necessary details to initiate the claims process.

Keep Records: Maintain detailed records of all medical treatments, expenses, and any communications related to the accident. This information can be crucial for your recovery process.

Consult MediLaw: While this is not legal advice, consider reaching out to MediLaw who can provide guidance tailored to your situation and help you understand what attorneys and/or medical clinics might be best for you.

Avoid Discussions About Fault: Be cautious in discussing the accident with others, including insurance representatives, until you’re fully informed about your rights and options.
