What to do after an auto accident

After an injury accident, you need to quickly obtain prompt medical attention and retain a reputable auto accident law firm. If serious injuries occurred, immediate emergency care will be required and you may need to be transported from the scene of the accident to the nearest hospital. If the injuries are not life-threatening, you should be seen by your doctor or a physician at an urgent care clinic as soon as possible. Many times, injuries are not apparent right away due to the trauma your body has sustained. Regardless of whether or not you believe you have received injuries, you should always be examined by a medical care professional to make certain that you have no injuries, or to ensure that you receive the proper medical care for your injuries. With the number of auto collisions these days, much of the time the police may not arrive on the scene unless the injuries are serious enough to require ambulance transportation or a vehicle is too damaged to drive. If the police do not come to the scene, it is important that you file a police report. You should call your local Police Department, give them the location of the accident, and request to file a police report. This will document the facts of the accident, and you will have a record of the accident. You will want to obtain all the information from the other involved parties; names, address, phone numbers, driver’s license number, vehicle description, license plate number, name and policy number for the insurance company.
