TAKING THE RIGHT STEPS
GETTING THE JUSTICE YOU DESERVE
It can be tempting to settle with the other driver instead of contacting the authorities. But you’re only preventing yourself and your attorney from accessing your case's valuable evidence and facts. Seek medical treatment. Even if your injuries seem minor, you should still seek medical attention. Some injuries take time to reveal themselves, so it’s better to ensure you aren’t seriously injured more than you realize. The adrenaline pumping through your veins can distract you from noticing injuries, so seeking a medical professional’s opinion allows them to catch something you may not see. Not only is this a safety precaution, but it also allows you to document any physical trauma you have suffered and preserve important information. Document evidence. Information you provide is just as important as law enforcement and health care professionals’ documentation! Memory isn't
reliable, so gather as much evidence as possible.
As soon as you’re able, you can do the following to gather vital evidence:
No one expects to be seriously injured in a car accident, but life tends to be unpredictable. Along with the high emotions from an injury, specific steps are essential to building your case, and it can become an overwhelming task. Luckily, you’re not alone! The following suggestions are not intended to serve as legal advice; instead, they are general steps you can take to preserve evidence and ensure you are treated fairly when you have been injured. Report the accident. If you have been in a car accident, always call the police first. The police will document the accident scene and create a report that preserves essential details for your case.
• Gather contact information from the persons involved in the accident — their driver’s license numbers, insurance provider, etc. — and time the accident occurred. • If you’re able, take photos of the accident scene and injuries you have suffered. • Keep all bills and documents related to your medical care. You can even note what you were doing before the accident, what actions you took first, and the names of nearby witnesses. To obtain all the facts and evidence accurately, contact us at 229-888-0888 as soon as possible so we can help you receive the justice you deserve.
