What are the steps I should take after I’m injured in an accident?

If you’re injured in an accident, common sense dictates that you’ve got to get medical attention, first and foremost. Legally speaking, it’s vitally important that you follow up with a trained medical provider who can accurately document the injury. If the injuries aren’t documented, it can be as if they didn’t even happen.

Some people choose not to go to a doctor or to be examined, which creates a delay. Their injuries may get worse and worse, and when they do decide to go for treatment and documentation, there is a gap in time. Insurers make millions of dollars a year in denying righteous claims that simply were not documented initially.

If you’re injured, get an examination and medical treatment so there is documentation.
