Medical attention first
If you have been in an auto accident and you are nursing an auto injury, make sure that you have taken the appropriate steps to keep the situation from getting worse. Many people assume that their pain after an accident is only temporary and will go away in a few days. A car accident attorney will advise you that seeing a doctor immediately after an accident serves two important purposes: It demonstrates that you suffered an injury in the accident, and it documents the extent of your complaints at the time you are experiencing them. This can be crucial information that is needed months or years later and you need to "prove" you were hurting in the hours and days after the accident.
If your injuries from the accident cause you to miss work, or some other type of financial loss, be sure to document it with as much detail as possible. Keep receipts for any out of pocket expenses because certain damages are recoverable, and you will need proof of your losses. If you have questions about your specific situation, be sure to consult with one of Charlotte’s car accident lawyers. The consultation should be free and confidential. A competent attorney can guide you through the proper processes for your accident claim.
