Accident Issues
Regardless of who was at fault in the accident, victims should
seek the counsel of an experienced lawyer. To protect your legal
rights following severe injury or the wrongful death of a loved
one involved in a serious motor vehicle collision, it is generally
wise to consult an experienced personal injury law firm as soon
as possible. Within the first week, important physical evidence
can be lost and witnesses may become hard to find.
Certain
injuries may not manifest themselves until sometime after an accident.
By not seeing a doctor, you risk delaying your treatment and further
injury. Even minor soreness can be an indication of a more significant
injury.

Things
You Should Do After An Accident
Insist
that a report be filed with the police, sheriff or highway patrol.
. Obtain the name, address, insurance information, vehicle license
number and driver's license number of any and all other persons
involved in the accident. Also get the names, addresses and telephone
numbers of all witnesses.
. Photograph the accident scene, including all vehicles involved
(before repairing) and any visible injuries (e.g., cuts, bruises).
. Talk to no one about the accident or injuries other than your
doctor or lawyer, especially not an insurance adjuster.
. Sign nothing without consulting a lawyer. Truthful statements
made in an attempt to be helpful can easily be misinterpreted
and turned against you.
. Seek medical attention and tell your physician or surgeon exactly
how the injury occurred and describe all symptoms and complaints.
. Be sure to report memory problems, confusion or disorientation,
however minor these things may seem at the time.
