First things first, obtain the medical attention you need. Ask your doctor about the best course of treatment and what additional treatment may be needed. Get the prescriptions and medical devices required. Remember to keep all your records and medical bills. Hopefully, after the crash, a police report was filed. Make sure you have a copy of that police report and the names of all witnesses. These are all documents you want to bring when you meet with your attorney. By now, the calls from the at-fault party’s insurance company have probably started. You do not have to talk to an insurance adjuster. In fact, you should not until you speak with a lawyer. Your conversation with the agent or adjuster might be recorded, and you do not want to say anything that might be damaging to a claim later on. If they call you or visit you, simply ask for their name and number and politely tell them your car accident lawyer will call them shortly.
