What to Do When Injured in a Car Accident
As a driver, you likely know the risks of being involved in a collision. Almost everyone gets into a crash at some point. But if you get hurt, do you know how to proceed?
Our team at Spencer Calahan Injury Lawyers wants to help ensure that Louisiana residents are prepared in the event of a collision. Below, we’ve shared some crucial information about what to do when injured in a car accident.
Get a Medical Exam
This is probably the most important step you’ll need to take. Immediately after your crash, visit your healthcare provider for an examination to make sure you’re stable. As an added bonus, the documents detailing this appointment will play a critical role when you’re ready to file a claim for compensation.
Some injuries, however, may take a bit longer to become apparent. See your doctor as soon as symptoms become noticeable.
Call a Lawyer
Next, you’ll want to consider securing legal representation. Personal injury claims can be confusing, and if you want to make the proceedings as simple and successful as possible, you may need a knowledgeable legal ally.
We will handle communicating with the insurance company and filing all the paperwork. This will allow you to focus on what’s important: recovering from your injuries.
Contact the Insurance Company
At this point, your Louisiana car accident lawyer will get in touch with the other driver’s insurance company to notify it that you are going to file a claim.
Once your lawyer gets the claim process moving, he or she will begin compiling evidence and evaluating your damages to win you the compensation you deserve.
