You should begin by seeking out medical attention. Even if you feel fine, you should be aware that internal injuries and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can take weeks to begin showing symptoms.

You should use your smartphone to take some videos of the accident and some pictures of the scene. This will confirm the road conditions and weather conditions at the time. Take the time to note any road signage and the condition of both cars.

A police report is always useful to have because it helps to establish who was at fault for the accident. This is known as the Traffic Collision Report (TCR). You should call the police as soon as the accident has occurred, assuming they aren’t already on the scene.

Yes, you should hire an attorney to make sure your case can be fought in the courts. Federal law on traffic accidents is not easy to understand for the average person.

Your attorney will be able to establish the identity of the other driver, deal with insurers, and file the appropriate claim, as well as fight it through to the end.

Very rarely will you be required to testify in court. Most cases are settled between two legal teams and the victim never has to deal with a courtroom setting.
