Accidents happen fast — but what you do afterward can make a big difference in the outcome of your personal injury claim. At Michigan Injury Attorneys, we’ve helped clients throughout the state navigate tough situations with clarity and confidence.
Here are the key steps to take — and mistakes to avoid — if you’ve been injured in an accident:
Even if you feel fine, injuries like whiplash or internal damage may not show symptoms right away. Seeing a doctor documents your condition — and protects both your health and your case.
Telling anyone — especially insurance reps — that you’re “okay” can be used against you later. Stick to the facts and let your medical records speak for you.
Pictures of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage can be invaluable. Also try to collect names of witnesses and copies of any police reports.
Insurance companies often monitor social media for anything that could weaken your claim. Even an innocent photo or post can be taken out of context.
You don’t need to figure everything out on your own. A skilled injury attorney can deal with insurance companies, gather evidence, and help you avoid costly legal pitfalls.
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, contact Michigan Injury Attorneys today for a free consultation. We’ll fight for your rights — so you can focus on recovery.
