What to do After Sustaining an Injury in an Accident
The moments after an accident are critical, and as long as you are physically capable, you should take the following actions to document the incident and to maximize your chances of winning a future personal injury claim:
- Call the police. Not only will the police write up a report of the accident, but they will also ensure that an ambulance is sent to the scene, which will transport you to a hospital for treatment.
- You should then ask any witnesses of the accident for their name, phone number, and email address, as they may corroborate your claim at a later date.
- If you were injured in an auto accident, take pictures of your car, as well as of the other motorist’s car. If you were injured in a slip & fall, take pictures of the unsafe condition that caused your accident.
- Receive immediate medical treatment at a hospital, and ask your doctor for all documentation regarding the origin and extent of your injury.
- Hire an experienced Union County personal injury lawyer who can gather and present all additional evidence needed to prove your personal injury claim. For example, if you were injured in an auto accident or in a slip and fall, our firm may subpoena surveillance footage of the accident as it happened.
Ensure that you speak with our firm as soon as possible after your accident, as the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New Jersey is, generally, two years, which means that you will only have two years from the date of your accident to file your personal injury claim.
