What to Do After an Accident?

Report the Incident

Immediately Ask them to create an accident report in writing that documents your name, the date, time and location of the accident. Management should also document the accident using the details you provide. Make sure to ask for a copy of the report before you leave.

Seek Medical Attention 

if you are injured.  The insurance companies for the dollar stores will need medical documentation to show your injury.

Refrain from Speaking to Insurance Companies 

as they will record your call and use it against you later in the process.

Save and Record all Expenses. 

This includes keeping hospital bills, ambulatory bills, receipts for medical equipment and medication as well as lost wages.  All of these can be included in your case.

Avoid Posting on Social Media 

as you could hinder any chances you have at receiving compensation for your injuries. 

Talk to a Personal Injury Attorney 

An experienced attorney can answer your questions, conduct an investigation, obtain evidence, speak to witnesses on your behalf, file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
