This is the first in a series of posts about what to do after you’ve been in an accident. The most important thing to do is to see a doctor, both in order to ensure that you receive the care you need and determine the scope of your injuries and to begin documenting your injuries and the care you received. Remember, the insurance company is going to do everything it can to save money by minimizing the extent of your injuries. The sooner you receive care, the better off you’ll be, from both a medical standpoint and a legal one.
