Do I Need Medical Treatment If I Am Injured?

If you have been seriously injured in an accident, you need to seek medical treatment for your injuries. If you have been involved in a car accident, call 9-1-1 from the scene. Law enforcement can dispatch emergency medical services. In some cases, the full extent of your injuries may not be immediately apparent.

Even if you do not believe you were seriously injured, it is still essential to get evaluated by a doctor or physician. Failure to get treatment for your injuries could limit your recovery. Provide your Port Chester personal injury lawyer with all of your medical bills and records related to your treatment.

What Do I Need to Do to Get the Maximum Compensation?

• Take photos and videos – If you are able, take pictures and videos at the scene of the accident. If you were involved in a slip and fall, take pictures of the hazard that contributed to your fall. If you were involved in a car accident, take photos of the area where the collision occurred.
• Notify your superior or a manager – If you were involved in a workplace accident, notify your superior about the incident. In some cases, you may be required under your employment contract to follow specific protocols if you are injured on the job. If you are injured at a store or business, notify the manager.
• Ask for contact information from witnesses – if there were witnesses to your accident, ask for their contact information. An eye-witness account may prove invaluable in determining liability in your case.
