Where To Turn When You’ve Been Wronged

For best results and to protect your right to recover compensation, we offer the following advice for injured people, family members or friends after a crash:

• Do cooperate with first responders such as police, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) who arrive in an ambulance, and others tending to the scene of the crash.
• Don’t say, “It was my fault!” or submit to lengthy questions about what happened.
• Get immediate medical attention for anyone who was injured. This may mean calling an ambulance or going to urgent care for a prompt evaluation. Don’t wait to see how the injured person feels the next day. Waiting too long to see a doctor can lead to accusations that the injured person is feigning or exaggerations or complaints of pain.
• Preserve all available evidence from the scene of the accident, such as names and contact information for witnesses; information about where the wrecked car is towed; photos of the scene and injuries; photos or quickly recorded memories and descriptions of road conditions and other aspects of the surroundings
• Report the accident to your car insurance company but do not give a statement before you have legal counsel.
