What Should I Do Following a Massachusetts Car Accident? (Part A)

Car accidents can throw your life into chaos and result in devastating injuries for you and your loved ones. You may have questions about what you should do following a Massachusetts car accident in order to ensure you can recover compensation for your losses.

Immediately After a Massachusetts Car Crash

It is essential to always seek qualified medical attention immediately after a car crash, even if you believe your accident injuries are minor. Many personal injuries suffered during an automobile accident are not detected immediately, including head trauma, spinal injuries, or other serious medical conditions.

There is a chance that you may not exhibit injury symptoms until it's too late to get proper treatment. Medical records documenting the extent of your accident injuries will be a critical component to any personal injury lawsuit, should you need to file a Massachusetts personal injury claim further down the line.

File a Massachusetts Car Accident Report

No matter what happens, or what the other driver(s) say or do, always file a Massachusetts car accident report at the scene of the crash. Although Massachusetts State Law dictates that a driver has up to 5 days to file a car accident report, you should file the report immediately. Do not let the other driver talk you into leaving the accident scene without first obtaining the following information:

• The other driver's license number;
• Their tag number;
• Insurance information and;
• The other driver's name and address.

Following your car accident, gather the contact information of any witnesses, as they will be valuable resources during your Massachusetts personal injury case. If you are unable to record this information due to your injuries, ask someone to help you. Police reports may also be beneficial in helping you find witness information if you were unable to do so immediately following your crash.

While the event is still fresh in your mind, write down all of the details that you can remember about the weather and road conditions, as well as what happened just before and during the car accident. If you are able, take photographs of the car accident scene and retain the crashed vehicle as evidence.

Contact a Massachusetts Personal Injury Attorney

The next step is to contact a Massachusetts personal injury attorney who can help you to fight for a fair insurance settlement that will cover any immediate and long-term medical expenses related to your accident injuries. An experienced car accident lawyer can help you to determine if your damages qualify you for a Massachusetts personal injury lawsuit. Never speak to, or sign anything from an insurance company before consulting with a personal injury lawyer.
