You should always, if possible, get medical attention immediately after any accident, especially a drunk driving accident. If your vehicle suffers significant damage, you should have a doctor check you over for injury. However, sometimes, people may walk away from the accident scene without realizing that they sustained serious injuries. First, have a doctor check you over as soon as you notice signs of injury. If you have lingering pain days after the accident, the doctor can confirm whether you suffered injuries and what you need to do to maximize your odds of making a full recovery. Next, contact a lawyer as soon as possible. At Hutzler Law, we can help you fight for compensation for drunk driving accident injuries even in cases where it may prove more difficult to determine exactly when your injuries occurred.
