- Value of life damages
What to do When You are Injured in an Accident
There are three important rules that apply whenever you suffer any type of personal injury caused by the negligence of another party, no matter how serious it may be, or how minor it may seem at the time.
The first thing you must do after any type of injury, is to seek immediate medical attention, even if you don’t think you may need it. In cases of severe injuries, they will be obvious, and you will be taken care of by the first-responders on the scene. However, in many cases an important thing to remember is that you may be injured much worse than you think you are. This is why it is so important to seek immediate medical attention and be completely examined by a doctor, to have all your injuries fully documented and to schedule a follow-up appointment. Severe injuries, such as broken bones, burns, and organ damage are immediately obvious. But many physical injuries, especially those from automobile accidents, can cause damage that is not immediately obvious or visible and may hurt only moderately at the time. But often, these may be progressive in nature, where the real damage may not show up for months and sometimes even years later.
Whenever you are the victim of a personal injury of any kind, especially in an automobile accident, you will probably be asked to make a statement to police and file an accident report. You must do this as completely and honestly as possible to any direct questions you are asked. If possible, you should wait for your attorney to be present, so they can protect your legal interests while you are making your statement.
Under no circumstances should you ever discuss the accident – especially your injuries – with any of the other parties involved in the accident, any of their friends or relatives, and especially never anyone representing their insurance company. Do not ever talk to anyone but law enforcement, and only tell them what they ask, without volunteering any additional information. Never talk to anyone else until you have an attorney present to represent you and protect your legal interests.
