Take Control of Your Injury
What to Do After Being Involved in an Accident
Gather Evidence On-Site
When filing a claim, you will have a greater chance of receiving compensation with concrete evidence such as witness statements & pictures of the crash site or visual injuries.
Seek Medical Attention
Even if it may seem like you aren’t hurt, it’s vital to go to the doctor after an accident because should an injury present itself later, you have more legitimacy to add to a future claim.
