Being injured is never pleasant.
Pain, fear and chaos take over.
The purpose of this blog post is to give a few simple steps to make sure that you stay on track when things seem out of control.
Make sure that you go to the hospital or your doctor immediately.
Some people are afraid of medical professionals.
Waiting will only make it worse for your health and your potential case against the negligent driver.
If an ambulance is offered make sure that you go so that the doctors and emergency personnel have the opportunity to check out all your injuries as soon as possible.
Go to your personal doctor after you have been to the hospital.
This will give your doctor a chance to examine you several days after the incident and discover any additional problems.
Make sure that you ask your doctor to refer you to see the appropriate specialists such as a back doctor or an orthopedic surgeon for your knees or arms.
Follow up with all recommended treatment. Failure to comply with the doctor’s treatment plan may leave you open to charges that you would have recovered completely if you followed orders.
