Most importantly, get the medical care that you need for the injury. Also, make sure that all reporting required by law enforcement and insurance companies is provided. Be careful about talking too much about the accident or your injuries. Insurance companies may want to take recorded statements, and you need to be sure that you do not say something that later may become a problem if it becomes necessary to pursue a claim. Neighbors, family, and friends all will want to know all about the accident and injuries, and insurance companies or lawyers may later be asking those folks what you said about the accident and injuries. If you have been hurt significantly at work or in an accident that was someone else’s fault, you will likely need a lawyer’s help in dealing with the issues from that injury, and it is better to talk to a lawyer too soon than too late.
