What do you have to do in case you are injured? Whether it is from someone else's negligence or not, the first thing you should do is seek medical treatment. Only after you have an idea what your medical condition is you can think about calling an personal injury attorney.
Even if you don't, there are steps you could take that would be useful if a lawsuit happens down the road. These include:
Take photographs of any bruising, cuts or other injuries while they are still visible. Photos can help explain the extent of an injury and could help an insurance adjuster or jury understand how painful and serious the injury was.
For the same reason, if you are given and medical devices to help you recover such as casts, braces, splints, etc. take photos.
Do not give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster. No matter what they tell you, giving such a statement can only hurt your case, not help it.
Follow your doctor's instructions. Aside from the importance to your health, you don't want to find yourself before a jury one day having the attorney for the insurance company arguing that you made your injuries worse by not being complying with what your doctor told you to do.
Start a journal of everything that happened at the accident and keep the journal as your medical treatment progresses. If you do go to trial it will not likely be for a few years. Keeping a journal is a credible way to refresh your recollection years down the road.
