What To Do When You've Been In An Accident

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident for which another person is primarily at fault, you should do the following as soon as possible:

1. Contact the police and provide the necessary information to complete an accident report.

2. Advise your insurance company of the accident.

3. Seek medical help, immediately.

4. Seek legal advice to ensure that you minimize your losses and maximize your gains.

After an accident, you can expect a call from an insurance adjuster representing the other party involved. Their primary objective is to swiftly and cost-effectively resolve your claim. You should remember that you are under no obligation to disclose any information to them, as it may potentially be used against your interests.

Once you agree to a settlement with the adjuster, it generally marks the conclusion of your legal options against the other driver, regardless of any delayed onset of medical issues, especially related to neck and back injuries. These types of injuries can sometimes take weeks or even months to fully manifest after the accident.

Therefore, it’s vital that you take the time to thoroughly assess your injuries before accepting any settlement.
