Even if you think you do not have injuries following an auto accident, you should make sure a police report is filed, that you contact your insurance company, and, most important, contact the best personal injury lawyer for car accidents. Make sure you go to the hospital and are checked out thoroughly. Some injuries do not manifest until later – sometimes up to a few months (or longer) later.
You may still be able to recover a monetary award for property damages and for your hospital bills for getting checked out. This also provides documentation in the event that an injury does show up at a later date. Proper documentation is pertinent in filing a personal injury case down the line. You will need to show that you were in an accident.
If you are not injured and you do have a camera with you, you should also take pictures of the accident.
