What are the important things one should do after a motor vehicle accident?

To protect your health and legal rights following a motor vehicle accident, here are some important steps that you can take:

·         If you have sustained any injuries, seek immediate medical help, even if the injuries appear to be minor. In addition to obtaining the treatment, seeking a medical treatment will also provide documentation of your injuries and can be used as evidence.

·         Document every aspect of the accident scene. Obtain photographic evidence of the scene and gather other important information, such as name, address and other contact details of the other driver, witnesses and responding officers.

·         Call the police even if no one is injured and there is limited property damage. Having a police report will be helpful while dealing with insurance companies.

Notify your insurance company about the accident and the extent of your injuries.

  1. I was returning from office late one night. Another car hit my car, injuring me badly. Later I came to know that the car driver was drunk. When we contacted him, he told me that his insurance company would pay for my damages. Should I hire an injury attorney to deal with the insurance company?
