Being involved in an auto accident is never fun. Your vehicle likely has damage and you are probably in pain. It’s important that you create a police report as soon as possible AND to either go to the hospital or see a doctor ASAP. The more you wait to seek medical treatment, the more the other driver’s insurance company will find excuses to pay you a fair compensation for your injuries. The at-fault driver’s insurance company has to pay for your medical treatment, your lost wages IF a doctor takes you off work, and for your pain and suffering.
