Your right to recover compensation for your injuries may be affected by the action taken or not taken following an accident. First, the needs of the injured must be attended to. An ambulance should be summoned if appropriate. You also need to gather as much information as possible about the accident. Witnesses should be located; the police should be called to the accident scene to complete a report. If for some reason the police do not investigate the accident, drivers should exchange insurance information and promptly go to the police station and fill out a report.

 

If you are injured in any way, you should go to a hospital emergency room as soon as possible. You should also consult with your family doctor. Visible injuries such as cuts or bruises should be photographed as well as any damages to the vehicles or the accident scene. Although you are obligated to report the accident to your own insurance company, you will want to retain our office before speaking with any insurance representative of the other driver. With insurance companies and legislation attempting to limit the rights of injured people, it is more important than ever to have Keith Gregory & Associates handle your case.
