Taking the Right Steps to Protect Your Health and Your Legal Rights
Knowing what to do after an auto accident in Oklahoma can make a critical difference in both your physical recovery and the compensation you potentially receive for all your losses. The first and most important thing you want to do is hire an experienced Oklahoma motor vehicle accident attorney. There are, however, a number of things you can do yourself to help your legal case.
The Most Important Steps to Take after an Oklahoma Car Crash
According to statistics gathered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are more than 6 million reported motor vehicle accidents every year. In the aftermath of any type of car accident, your health needs to be your first priority:
- Take an immediate assessment of your injuries. If you have a head, neck or back injury and can safely stay where you are, do so until emergency responders arrive.
- Even if you are able to walk away from the accident, immediately seek medical attention, either at a hospital ER, an urgent care facility or with your primary care provider
- If at all possible, gather information at the scene of the crash. That includes contact information for anyone involved in the accident, as well as any potential witnesses.
- Take pictures of anything relevant to the crash, including your injuries, any damage to the vehicles, the road conditions at the site of the accident, and any weather conditions that may have contributed to the crash
