Ensure Safety and Seek Medical Attention

Your immediate safety is the most important. If you’re injured, call 911 or ask someone nearby to assist. Even if injuries seem minor, getting a medical evaluation is essential. Some injuries, like internal bleeding or concussions, may not show immediate symptoms but can be life-threatening.

Immediate medical attention not only safeguards your health but also provides official documentation of your injuries. This medical record is crucial when pursuing a personal injury claim.

Understanding what to do immediately after a personal injury accident can make a significant difference in your recovery and legal proceedings.
