What Should I Do if I Have an Accident?
Following an accident, it is important that you get prompt medical evaluation. While some injuries may not seem serious at first, they can get worse over time and lead to major problems later. As a result, it is important that you obtain proper medical evaluation in the wake of an injury to see if there is any treatment that can prevent worsening of the condition and to document the nature of your injury to protect you if it gets worse.
Once you get proper medical evaluation, try to preserve any evidence that may be important to your claim. You may want to take photographs of the scene of the incident or any vehicles or equipment involved in the injury. You should obtain the contact information for any witnesses to the accident. It is not always necessary to hire an attorney after an accident, but you should at least consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer to determine your rights. You should be wary about any communication with the other party’s insurance company and avoid having your statement recorded by the insurance company. The insurance company may attempt to use even slight changes in your account of the event against you later. Never sign a release of a claim with the insurance company before your treatment is concluded or before you know the full consequences of your injury. Insurance companies may try to settle your claim quickly before you fully understand the full extent of your injuries and you may be stuck with substantial medical expenses later if you sign away your rights. In Washington, all lawsuits for personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the injury or your claim may be barred by the statute of limitations.
