What to Do Immediately After an Injury
The moments following a personal injury are critical. Here’s what you should prioritize:
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor, it’s essential to get a thorough medical evaluation. Not only does this safeguard your health, but medical records are vital for legal claims.
- Document the Incident: Take photos of the scene, injuries, and any hazards that contributed to the accident. Collect witness contact information and file an official report if applicable.
