There are resources and procedures you should follow to ensure the protection of your rights. Here are some points to consider if you have been in a car accident.
First
Make sure to visit a doctor to have your injuries examined.
Second
Contact an attorney to take your case and help you defend your rights.
Third
Make sure not to speak to anyone about your case. Ensure that all communications regarding the accident are directed to your lawyers. Insurance companies and investigators are particularly eager to talk to you after an accident. They record your conversation, with or without your permission, in an attempt to decrease their responsibility from the outset.
Fourth
Take pictures of your car, the place where the accident occurred, and your injuries.
Fifth
Do not complete any documents. Send all correspondence regarding your accident to your lawyers, and refer all calls to them. The lawyers will handle investigating the accident, obtaining the police report and other records related to the accident, researching the law, getting you medical benefits and benefits for lost wages, making claims against the defendant's insurance, and, when appropriate, filing a lawsuit.
