The first thing to do after an accident is to see a doctor. Your medical concerns come before your legal concerns.

After an accident, contact an attorney who has experience and a proven reputation for successfully representing clients injured in automobile accidents. Keep copies of bills, receipts, medical records, letters from insurance companies, photos, etc. also, keep a daily journal of complaints, treatments, and days missed from work.

It is not unusual for pain or discomfort to surface several hours or days after an accident. Many soft tissue injuries begin as stiffness and pain, but progressively worsen to more serious medical conditions.

You are entitled to compensation for all injuries resulting from someone else's negligence. This includes accidents that aggravate or worsen pre-existing conditions such as arthritis, degenerative disc disease, or joint disease.

Generally speaking, in order to recover compensation for your injuries, you need to prove someone (a person, business, or organization) is at fault. You may still be entitled to compensation if your conduct contributed to the accident so long as the other party's fault was greater than yours.

In most cases, you have two (2) years from the date of the accident to either settle your claim or pursue legal action. You should notify your insurance company after the accident --- particularly if you intend to make a claim for medical payments or uninsured/underinsured coverage. The at-fault party's insurance company should contact you soon after the accident to discuss how you were injured. You must be very careful, because anything you say may be used against you.

The medical bills can be paid initially by your health insurance or automobile medical payments coverage until such time that the at-fault party's insurance company settles your claim.
