Frequently Asked Questions: Auto Accidents

What should I do if I’m involved in an auto accident?  

• Seek police and medical attention immediately. The police will need to make a report of the incident, and a trained medical professional will need to assist you with any injuries you may have sustained. NOTE: You may not feel any pain immediately after an accident – that does not mean you are uninjured. Some injuries may take hours or even days to present themselves. 
• Seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in personal injury and auto accidents to find out your rights and what compensation you may be able to receive.
