What to do if You or a Family Member is Injured in a Motor Vehicle Accident

1. Do not make any statement that could be interpreted as admitting any type of fault or liability.
2. Be polite and courteous to the police and the driver of the other car. 
3. Be observant as to the clothing worn by the other driver, as that might show the name of the company he was working for at the time of the accident.
4. If you are able, get the names and contact information of any witness who may witnessed the accident or come upon the scene afterwards.
5. If you have a camera or a video cell phone, take pictures of the accident scene and the vehicles.
6. Notify your own insurance carrier, so they would be able to investigate.
7. Go to the doctor as soon as possible, both to receive treatment and to document your injuries.
8. Contact a motor vehicle accident lawyer to protect your rights to compensation.
9. Have your attorney handle any communications with any insurance adjustor who contacts you. The insurance adjustor might try to trick you into saying something that could reduce the value of your claim.
10. Keep a diary of your medical care and of everything that happens to you in the course of your treatment.
