First and foremost, get medical attention. Do not delay. Undiagnosed and untreated symptoms from injuries will likely only get worse.

Take a moment to recall everything you can about the particulars of the accident. Write down the date, time, location and contact information of any witnesses or anyone else involved.

If injured at work, notify your employer or supervisor in writing as soon as possible.

Keep track of the time you miss from work and any related responsibilities, such as trips to the doctor, body shop, chiropractor, etc. Any work you miss or any additional tasks as a result of the accident or injury are relevant.

Do not speak with any insurance company, even your own, until you have consulted with an attorney
