- It is important to seek medical attention immediately for the best chance at recovering from any injuries you may have sustained in the accident, even if you believe your injuries are minor. Many injuries do not surface right away.
- It is also very important to document the accident and your injuries as best as you can—the best ways to do this are to take photographs of the accident scene, including photographs of any defects and conditions at the location, injuries, and to get the contact information for any possible witnesses to your accident.
- If you have not done so already, you should also file a police report to document the accident. Do not admit fault if you were not at fault. A police report can be a key piece of evidence to a case.
- Do not give a statement to any other individual’s or company’s insurance adjusters.
- Most importantly, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible who can assess whether or not you may have a case so you can be instructed on how to proceed.
