After an accident or injury, the first thing you should always do is seek medical attention. Even if your injuries seem minor, make sure you see a medical provider and receive necessary treatment. If possible, preserve any evidence from the incident that caused your injuries, such as the name and contact information of the other person or party involved, their insurance information (if applicable), and photos of your injuries and/or the scene of the accident. You should also keep copies of your medical records and follow all of your doctor’s recommendations and orders. Equally as important, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Avoid discussing your claim with anyone other than your attorney, and never sign anything provided to you by the other party’s insurance company without first discussing your options with an attorney.
