Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Even if you feel fine initially, some injuries, such as whiplash or internal injuries, may not present symptoms right away. Seeing a doctor ensures your health is prioritized and creates a medical record that will be critical in proving the extent of your injuries.

Document the Scene: If it’s safe to do so, take photos or videos of the accident scene, including damage to vehicles, hazards that contributed to a fall, or any visible injuries. These visuals can be invaluable evidence in establishing fault.

Collect Witness Information: Witness statements can provide crucial third-party perspectives on what happened. Be sure to get the names and contact details of anyone who saw the accident occur.

Report the Incident: Whether it’s to the police, your employer, or a property owner, ensure that the accident is officially reported and documented. Ask for a copy of any incident or police report for your records.

Avoid Speaking with Insurance Adjusters Without Legal Representation: Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Before providing a statement or signing anything, consult an experienced personal injury attorney who can advocate for your best interests.
