When you or a loved one is involved in a motor vehicle accident, it is always an emotional and frightening experience. For that reason, it is important to consider a few things if this happens.
- Treat Your Injuries: first and foremost, you need to take care of yourself or your loved ones.
- Following an accident, it is wise to consider getting checked out by a doctor; even if you think you are fine, note that some injuries may not surface until many hours after an accident occurs.
- Ask for an ambulance to take you to the emergency room, especially if you know you’ve been seriously injured.
- Bring company—it is best to have a loved one there to support you while you are being examined and treated.
- Be honest—tell your physician about all of the pain/discomfort you are experiencing.
