One of the biggest pitfalls to any personal injury claim or case is there being no police report or ride in an ambulance. These need to be the first calls that you make. It is important that you get medically evaluated at the scene for two reasons: (1) You don’t always know whether you’ve been hurt right after an accident, and (2) The EMR and doctors who evaluate you shortly following the accident are important witnesses (this is also why you want the police to come and writ...e a report). Don’t worry about the expense it helps your personal injury case. The police are also important, but generally will only come if someone is injured, and there is substantial property damage (typically meaning that at least one of the vehicles involved is totaled). This is another reason why you should always take an ambulance, because if you do, the police are more likely to come and write a report. The report provides excellent evidence of what happened, all the driver’s information and typically an opinion regarding liability of the driver who caused the collision. This all is helpful to your case. This article is not meant to be all inclusive or a substitute for legal advice from a licensed attorney in your own jurisdiction.

It is important that you obtain counsel immediately when you are hurt, because many times the money that is offered to you without an attorney will be insufficient to pay for all of the effects of the accident.
