The first thing to do after an accident is to seek medical attention immediately. If necessary, call an ambulance or go to the ER. Any delay in seeking help could jeopardize your health and even legal case. According to most insurance companies, getting medical treatment within 72 hours is reasonable enough. Make sure that to document the treatment and mention that you were involved in the accident. Ensure that you do not discuss crucial facts of the case with anyone except your doctor and attorney. The next step is to get legal representation. While it is not mandatory to appoint a lawyer, they can help you gather evidence, navigate the difficult legal process and represent you in front of intimidating insurance companies.
