What Are The 4 Things You Should Do After A Car Accident In Iowa?

Seek Treatment For Your Injuries

Immediately after a car accident, you should seek medical treatment for your injuries. If an ambulance is called to the scene of your crash, you should take it to the hospital.

If you are not able to take an ambulance, visit a local emergency room your regular doctor as soon as possible after the accident.

Insurance companies and juries need to see evidence of your injuries if you want to get fair compensation for your harms and losses. The best way to get this evidence is by seeing your doctor early and as often as you need until you are healed, or your doctor says you’re as healed as you’re going to get.

Visit Your Doctor As Often As You Need Until You’re Healed.

Many car accident injuries present themselves hours, days, or even weeks after the crash. To track your injuries, visit with your medical provider often. They will make notes of your condition in your medical records.

These records are key pieces of evidence to show the other driver’s insurance company or a jury to get you the fair compensation you deserve.

You also need to keep your medical providers up-to-date onthe pain levels you experience because of your injuries, or limitations experienced at work due to your accident-related injuries. Getting compensation is possible, but only if your injuries are noted in your medical records.

Call Your Car Insurance Company.

After your accident, call your insurance company and let them know what happened. Tell them about your injuries, but make sure you’re very specific. Don’t sign any paperwork and don’t let them take a recorded statement from you. Even your own insurance company isn’t usually on your side – so be very careful what you tell them.

Contact An Attorney.

We know after a car accident you’re probably focusing on healing from your injuries and figuring out how to provide for your family if you’re not able to work or if you have big medical bills.

But it’s important to protect yourself and your rights from insurance companies that want to low-ball you to settle your case quickly. An experienced Cedar Rapids personal injury lawyer can give you advice on what to do next.
