The first thing that should be done, of course, is to get medical attention for anyone who is seriously injured. Beyond that, here are some key steps that can help you in a personal injury lawsuit:
Report the accident to your insurance company
Provide as many details as possible to police and file an accident report
Take photos of the accident scene to record important details, including damage to vehicles and other property
Do not speak with any other insurance company representatives or sign any reports
Do not make any statements of who was at fault or the extent of your injuries
Contact an experienced personal injury attorney
See a doctor as soon as possible following an accident
