If you haven't seen a physician yet and are experiencing any problems, go now. The sooner you see a doctor after an accident the more seriously your medical claims will be taken by your insurance company. The longer you wait, the more difficult it may be to convince them that your health problems can be attributed to the accident. The more serious and complex an injury or claim, the more probable it is that you will need assistance with it. An initial consultation with a lawyer will give you some answers to questions along with a basic evaluation of your claim.
Many lawyers offer an initial visit without charge or future obligation.
A lawyer will look out for your rights and inform you of actions and laws that could endanger your rights like an admission of guilt or the statute of limitations. A lawyer will worry about the claim for you, deal with the insurance company and pursue possible other leads such as a claim against the vehicle's owner or the driver's employer, or the possibility of a defective vehicle. Even if there is no personal injury, settling property damage claims may still make it worthwhile to contact a lawyer.
