Steps To Take After An Accident

If you were injured in any type of accident – whether a car or motorcycle crash, a slip and fall, or surgical error – there are certain steps you should take right away to protect your rights and your ability to recover compensation.

To the best of your ability, be sure to do the following after the accident:

  • Call 911: If you or anyone else is severely injured, call 911 and wait for paramedics and/or law enforcement to arrive. Your health is of the utmost importance; never brush off injuries as “not that serious” or refuse medical attention at the scene.
  • Report the accident: Depending on whether you were injured in a traffic accident, on someone else’s property, or due to medical negligence, there are different steps to reporting the accident. However, you should always notify the proper authorities.
  • Exchange information: If possible, you should exchange information with the others involved in the accident (or potentially liable parties) at the scene. Get the name, contact information, and insurance information of the other driver(s), property owner, hospital, etc.
  • Document everything: It is a good idea to document everything you can in the immediate aftermath of the accident. Take pictures of your vehicle, your injuries, the dangerous conditions, the site of the accident, etc., and record your medical appointments and complications.
  • Follow your doctor’s instructions: You should ALWAYS seek medical attention if you are injured, even if your injuries seem mild. You should also always follow all your doctor’s instructions, recommendations, and treatment plans.
  • Reach out to an attorney: If you need help filing a claim or are unsure of how to proceed after the accident, our Flint personal injury lawyers at Bahrie Law, PLLC, can help. Contact us today to request a free, no-obligation consultation.

Different laws dictate the various legal processes following different types of accidents. For example, if you were injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to file a claim with your own insurance provider and seek compensation through your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. If you were hurt due to dangerous conditions or hazards on someone else’s property, you could have grounds for a premises liability claim. If you believe you were the victim of substandard medical treatment, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the medical provider that failed to uphold the standard of care.

What Compensation Is Available To Accident Victims?

The exact damages you will be able to recover will depend on the specific circumstances of your case.

However, many personal injury claimants recover compensation for the following losses:

  • Emergency medical care
  • Medical treatments, such as surgery
  • Rehabilitation/physical therapy
  • Medications and medical equipment, including wheelchairs
  • Ongoing and future medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost income/wages
  • Lost future earnings and other employment benefits
  • Lost earning capacity (disability)
  • Counseling services/therapy
  • Mental health disorders, such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • In-home care services and home modifications

You may be entitled to compensation for both economic and noneconomic damages, meaning those that have a specific monetary value and those that are more intangible in nature. Our Flint personal injury attorneys can go over the details of your case with you during a free initial consultation and can provide greater clarity as to what types of damages you may be able to recover, as well as the potential value of your case.
