The first thing you need to do is get medical attention. This will enable you to get medical care, should you need it, and start a record of your injuries.
If you are able to get checked out by medics on the scene and can confirm that you are safe to walk around, make sure to stop and take photos or videos of the scene. Similarly, check with bystanders to see if any of them witnessed the accident, and make sure to gather their contact information. All of this will come in handy later when you are seeking compensation.
It is very important that you choose your words carefully and not admit to anything at the scene. It is likely that you will be in shock after the accident, and saying something unintentionally compromising could potentially damage your case. Remember, anything you say after an accident can come back to bite you, so it’s best not to say anything at all.
If you suspect someone else is at fault, set up a consultation with one of our personal injury attorneys.
