While you wait for the police to arrive take photos of the accident scene, the equipment’s condition, weather conditions, and your injuries. Your photos become evidence because no record exists after the staff cleans up the accident scene and replaces faulty equipment. Also, it helps your witnesses to remember how it happened.

Talk to the witnesses to see if they saw what happened to you and if they think the staff and company were responsible. Write down their full names, addresses, and phone numbers.

Sometimes shock and adrenalin suppress the pain. Bruising appears later. The next day neck and back injuries become apparent. You never know what internal injuries you suffered.

That’s why it’s important to let an ambulance come so medics may examine you at the accident scene. If they recommend it, go to the hospital. Make sure to tell the doctors and nurses about every pain you feel. Their notes of your pain and injuries become evidence in your favor.

Let the doctors take all the tests they request. Only x-rays, scans, and blood tests reveal what goes on internally. Accept all prescriptions.

After leaving the hospital, attend every physical therapy and medical treatment sessions. Don’t stop attending until the medical staff tells you to. Get renewals of all your prescriptions.
