Car Accident Q & A

I was injured in a car accident. What should I do?

Any time you’re injured in a car accident, you need to be evaluated by a health care professional. Call 9-1-1 or head to the ER if you have serious injuries. You also need to report the accident to the police and your insurance company.

If your injuries aren’t serious, you may choose to visit a walk-in clinic or make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. You may not realize you’re injured until the next day, but it’s still important to be seen within a few days.

After you’ve been treated, your doctor may refer you to a physical therapist and other specialists. All you have to do is bring in your doctor’s referral to your first visit.

You may want to keep record of all the medical sessions and receipts from your providers to present to your auto insurance company or attorney. The clinic also keeps detailed records and coordinates billing with the responsible party.
