You should always visit a doctor after being involved in a car accident, even if you feel fine immediately after. Accidents at even low speeds can cause serious injuries.
If you've been injured in a car accident due to driver negligence, Florida Law is designed to return you should be in the same condition you were in before the accident. That means you shouldn't be responsible for medical visits, ongoing therapy, and other expenses caused by the accident.
Here are some common injuries caused by car accidents:
Whiplash:
This common neck injury can cause pain, stiffness, and headaches.
Back and Neck Injuries:
These can range from strains and sprains to herniated discs and spinal cord damage.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI):
TBIs can have a devastating impact on your life, requiring long-term care and rehabilitation.
Spinal Cord Injuries:
These can result in paralysis and other life-altering disabilities.
Broken Bones:
A common injury requiring proper medical treatment and potentially resulting in lost wages.
Burns:
These can be painful, disfiguring, and require specialized medical care.
Internal Injuries:
These can be life-threatening and require immediate medical assessment.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Port Charlotte
Your actions after an accident are important. If you're safe and don't require immediate medical attention, prioritize gathering information and documenting the scene. Florida law requires you to report any accident causing injury, loss of life, or more than $500 in damage.
Here's a checklist to guide you:
Ensure Safety:
Move to a safe location if possible. Check yourself and others for injuries.
Call 911:
Report the accident to the police, especially if there are injuries or significant property damage.
Exchange Information:
Get the names, contact information, insurance details, and driver's license numbers of all involved parties. If you're involved in a hit-and-run accident, make sure you contact police to document what happened.
Document the Scene:
Take photos and videos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, injuries, and any contributing factors like road conditions or traffic signals. Most of this information can be found in the official report filed by law enforcement. If you didn't take photos at the time of the accident, photos taken later can still be helpful in some circumstances.
Gather Witness Information:
If there are witnesses, get their names and contact information. Don't attempt to contact witnesses yourself. Give this information to your lawyer.
Notify Your Insurance Company:
Report the accident to your insurance company, but avoid giving a recorded statement without consulting an attorney. Remember that the insurance company will always protect their profits first. They'll use anything you say to their advantage.
Seek Medical Attention:
Even if you don't feel injured, see a doctor to be certain. Some injuries may not be apparent right away. If you wait to seek medical attention, you could limit some of your legal rights.
Contact a Car Accident Lawyer:
An experienced attorney can help you understand your rights, protect your interests, and pursue the compensation you deserve. In addition, they'll help you complete all the other things we recommended on this list.
