1) Don't forget to call a personal injury attorney in Miami or your Florida community. In these situations, personal injury attorney can be invaluable. Even if you don't think you want to file a legal claim, keep in mind that there are many things that a personal injury attorney can do. First and foremost, a legal professional can help you understand how much your case may be worth and how much your injuries may end up costing you. This is important since you may have a hard time evaluating the likely total cost otherwise. A personal injury attorney who has dealt with thousands of similar cases can usually give you a very accurate picture of your financial damages from the accident.

2) Don't forget document everything. Right from the moment you are in a collision, it is important to start documenting. Exchange contact information with the other driver, but make sure that you also take photos of the accident scene if you can and get contact information of any witnesses. As soon as you are able to, write down everything you remember about the accident including the time, date, and any other details that you remember. If possible, get copies of medical reports, police reports, and take photos of any injuries or damages you have suffered. Consider keeping a journal of your symptoms and expenses and make sure to keep the receipts for any costs that are even remotely related to your injuries. The more information you have, the easier it is for you to claim a fair compensation amount.
