When you are injured in a motor vehicle collision make sure that you follow these steps to improve the value of your case.
Make sure that you contact law enforcement and complete a traffic report. This will capture most, if not all, of the important information such as location, date, time, names, addresses, insurance companies, and the cause of the crash.
Make sure that you go to the hospital or emergency room for immediate medical treatment. Insurance companies will attack your lack of medical treatment if you do not go for treatment as soon as possible after the accident.
Make sure that you follow up with your medical doctor as quickly as possible. Delays will damage your case.
Make sure to tell medical personnel the body parts injured and how the injury occurred. This will prevent the insurance company from denying that the collision caused all your injuries.
Do not give a statement to the insurance company unless you have consulted with an injury attorney. Any statements may be used against you in your future case.
