The steps you take after a collision can affect your medical recovery and the value of your injury claim. Start with safety, documentation, and early legal guidance before speaking in detail with an insurance adjuster.
Get medical care and document symptoms
Even if you feel stable at the scene, injuries can worsen over the next several days. Keep copies of discharge papers, imaging orders, prescriptions, and follow-up instructions.
Preserve evidence early
Photos, witness names, vehicle damage, dashcam footage, and the police report can all help prove how the wreck happened and who was responsible.
Be careful with insurance calls
Insurance companies often ask for recorded statements quickly. Before giving one, make sure you understand your injuries, your rights, and the potential value of your claim.
