You should always seek immediate medical attention after a car accident, even for minor injuries. Some injuries—like brain injuries—may not cause symptoms right away but can become life-threatening if left untreated. Your medical records will demonstrate that your injuries were a direct result of the accident, preventing an insurance company from claiming your injuries were sustained in another incident.
Collect the contact and insurance information of anyone else involved in the wreck, as well as the contact information of any witnesses. Take as many photographs as possible, paying special attention to any visible injuries and evidence such as skid marks, road signs, or other details that will help prove fault. If you are physically unable to do these things due to your injuries, your auto accident attorney will gather this information for you.
Speak with a Fort Worth auto accident lawyer as soon as possible. Even before filing your insurance claim, it is important that you contact an attorney at Berenson Injury Law so that we can ensure that your insurance does not attempt to withhold the compensation that you are entitled to receive.
