Car accidents can occur at any moment and result in serious injuries, costly medical expenses, lost work, and many other losses. Gathering evidence during the accident can be vital to your injury claim. After an accident, if you can, you should report the accident to the police, exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver, photograph everything at the scene, gather statements from witnesses, and retain all records related to the crash and your injuries.

Most importantly, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Not only is a doctor’s report essential for your claim, but you may have suffered a severe internal injury with delayed symptoms that can become life-threatening quickly.
