Chapter One – What happens when you are injured in a car accident?
Because most people have never been through the experience of an
accident, they do not know what is supposed to happen or what to
do after they sustain an injury. Whether you’ve been injured in a car
or motorcycle accident, a fall-down accident, a dog bite, or other
type of accident or injury, the process is supposed to begin in the
same manner.
The first thing, obviously, is to get medical treatment
for your injuries. Depending on the type of accident that caused your
injury, there are different steps you should take to protect yourself.
Should you be injured in a car or truck crash, the police should be
notified and appropriate medical treatment should be obtained.
Your auto insurance carrier should be notified and an insurance
claim should be opened with them.
Contacting a personal injury attorney at this time is, of course, an option.
A lawyer can ensure that all of your interests are protected.
There are different coverage amounts available
through your automobile insurance to cover your injuries and
losses, as we will see in the next chapter.
