What to do after suffering injury in an accident

Panic. Shock. Confusion. These are some of the things people often experience in auto accidents. However, what you do in the moments following a car accident are of the utmost importance.

Below are the steps you should take after an auto accident:

• Call 911. Your first concern should be contacting emergency services. You must look out for your welfare and the welfare of your passengers. Do not attempt to assess your own injuries — even conditions that appear to be minor can worsen over time.
• See a doctor. Next, you should visit a doctor to have the full extent of your injuries diagnosed. A brain injury attorney in New Jersey can explain to you that this is important not only for your health, but also for your legal case.
• Consult an attorney. You should have a lawyer review your case. They can point out any weaknesses or strengths in your case and determine if you have enough evidence to file a lawsuit.
• Follow your doctor’s orders. Victims who suffer catastrophic injuries require extensive therapy, treatment and medication. Again, it is essential to your health and your case that you listen to your doctor.
• Keep a journal. It is a good idea to keep a journal documenting your recovery. You should note any special occasions or work days you miss because of your injury. Also write down if your condition improves or gets worse.

If you suffer a serious injury, a New Jersey spinal cord injury lawyer at Brown, Novick & McKinley Attorneys at Law can help you on your road to recovery.
