- Get Evaluated by a Medical Professional: Injuries may not show up right away. Seeking treatment ensures your safety and creates documentation to support any legal or insurance claims.
- Collect Evidence at the Scene: Photograph vehicle damage, road signs, injuries, and surrounding conditions. These photos can be vital in proving your case.
- Request the Police Report: This report includes diagrams, citations, and witness statements—all useful when filing a claim or seeking compensation.
- Track Every Cost Associated with the Crash: Even minor expenses like parking for medical visits or medication co-pays should be documented and included in your claim.
