Were you very recently injured in an accident? Are you unsure what to do right after? The truth is that there’s no real way to prepare for having been in an accident. It’s very natural and completely understandable to not be sure what to do right in the wake of an accident. Obviously, you want to do what you can to make sure that you aren’t still in harm’s way, reach out to the police, seek medical attention, and all of that. There are some other steps that their personal injury lawyer in New York City team recommends.
If You Can, Document
After an accident, you may be in shock, take a moment to get your bearings, etc. If it’s safe for you to do so, you may want to take some photographs or videos of the scene. That’s because evidence disappears. Skidmarks can evaporate, damage can be cleaned up, cars moved, etc. Pictures taken right after the accident can be invaluable to show what really happened, to help your case.
Even if Something Feels like a Very Minor Injury, Mention It
After an accident, a medical professional, the police, an insurance agency representative, or someone may ask you about any injuries you suffered. If you’re like many people, you may only mention the worst ones, obvious ones, downplaying, or even ignoring ones that may seem minor or small. That’s not a good idea. Mention any injury you might have, no matter how small. Unfortunately, what might be a “minor” injury during an accident actually becomes something much worse after. To make sure that you get all of the compensation you deserve (as well as having the most compelling case) mention every injury, no matter how minor.
