What to Do If You Have Been in a Trucking Crash in North Miami or Anywhere in South FloridaSometimes, even when you take every precaution, careless or distracted drivers can still cause a collision that causes catastrophic injury. In these cases, you will want to:
1) Get medical evaluations for anyone injured. If you have been seriously injured, you will likely be rushed to the emergency room. Even if you seem fine, however, visit your regular doctor or clinic immediately for a full evaluation. If you have hit your head or have sustained any sort of soft tissue or head injury, you may not notice symptoms right away, even if your condition is serious. Getting a full medical evaluation will make it easier to establish whether the accident caused your injuries and can help you start treatment right away if you have been injured.
2) Gather evidence and information. Information and documentation is empowering after an injury. It can help you get fair compensation for your injuries and can even help you get better quality treatment. Keep a record of your symptoms, medical condition, medical reports, and expenses related to your accident. Get the contact information for any witnesses at the scene of the accident as well as photos of the accident scene and insurance information from the other drivers involved. The more information you have, the easier it is for you to file a claim and to agitate for fair compensation.
3) Follow the correct process. There is a legal process to follow after a serious traffic collision. If the accident was serious, you will need to consult with the police. If the accident caused any sort of property damage, you will also want to consult with your insurance company and potentially file an insurance claim.
4) Get legal advice. While there is no legal obligation to consult with a personal injury attorney, keep in mind that your personal injury attorney works for you and helps you seek compensation. He or she can also help you protect your rights after a collision. Not seeking legal advice can be a big mistake that could end up costing you a lot of money in the long run.
