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.
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?
