Know Your Rights

If you’ve suffered harm due to the negligence of another, you have the right to seek legal help. In many cases, you may be able to pursue a negotiated settlement or even file a lawsuit against the other party, whether that is an individual or a multinational corporation. As well as knowing your rights, you should be familiar with your responsibilities under the law. That means understanding what steps you’ll need to take after suffering an injury.

What should I do if I was hurt in an accident?

Step #1: Seek Immediate Medical Help

Before you do anything else, you should handle any and all medical emergencies. Even if you believe your injuries are minor, you should always seek the advice of a healthcare professional after being involved in an accident. In the first place, your injuries may be more critical than you believe. Secondly, you’ll need a physician’s expert opinion and an official medical record in order to successfully pursue a legal claim.

Step #2: Gather Evidence

If you’re going to pursue legal action, you’ll need to collect as much evidence as possible. While an attorney can help you by investigating your claim, it’s your responsibility to begin gathering the pieces. That means taking photographs, if possible, of the accident scene, of your injuries, and of any important signs or roadway hazards.

Step #3: Call a Personal Injury Lawyer

Unfortunately, there is a narrow window in which you can successfully file a lawsuit against a guilty party. In order to increase your chances of receiving a settlement or jury award, you should initiate proceedings as soon as possible after the accident. That means calling a personal injury attorney immediately after securing medical help. A seasoned attorney will not only advocate on your behalf when the time comes, but will also give you valuable advice about how to proceed and whether you have a chance of success.

Step #4: Secure Contact Information

No matter what type of accident you’ve been in, you should always obtain contact information for relevant parties. That means getting the name, address, and insurance information of the other driver in an auto accident. It also means securing the contact information of any witnesses, including coworkers who might be relevant to a worker’s compensation claim.

Step #5: Keep a Record

Start a journal and keep a detailed file of all proceedings. Write down any witness statements, any communications made by the other party, any medical symptoms, and any lost wages. You should also keep a copy of your medical records, expense receipts, and any other documentation relating to the accident and its aftermath.
