If you have not yet sought medical attention, do so immediately. Once you have received the proper medical care, you should contact an attorney who can review your situation and determine whether you have grounds for a personal injury claim or another method of receiving compensation (such as filing a personal injury protection, or PIP, claim). During your initial consultation with an attorney, try to provide as much detail as possible about the injury-causing event, including information about the other person or people involved, how the incident occurred, the nature of your injuries, and more.
