Navigating the Aftermath of an Auto Accident
Even a relatively minor auto accident can be a jarring, disorienting experience. The fight or flight reaction spurred on by an imminent crash can disguise the true severity of an injury. If you suspect to any extent that you have sustained an injury in your crash, seeing a medical professional should be your first priority. This cannot be overstated: your own health is of the utmost importance. Not only can prompt medical attention give you the best possible chance of the best possible recovery, it also creates a vital hard record of the extent and cause of your injuries. The official records will be a serious asset in your quest for compensation.
Common auto accident injuries may include:
- Broken bones
- Spinal nerve injuries (so-called “whiplash”)
- Concussions
- Brain Injuries
- Spinal Injuries
- Burns
- Amputations

At the Scene of the Accident
The undisturbed scene of the accident can also be a rich vein of hard evidence to support your insurance claims or legal action. Keep in mind that you should exchange insurance information with any other drivers involved. Remain calm and cordial. Do not admit fault under any circumstances. Doing so may severely hamstring your attempts to claim compensation.
Once you’ve done this, you should be on the lookout for these other forms of documentation and factual evidence:
- A Police Report – Can be obtained if 911 is called in the wake of the accident. A police report of the accident can serve as a vital third party perspective.
- Photographs – Your cellphone camera can capture the crash scene as is. Be sure to capture all angles and get close ups on the severity of the damage.
- Witness Testimony – Bystanders who witnessed the accident can testify as to the circumstances leading up to the accident.
