AUTO & PERSONAL INJURY
Step by Step Guide to Navigating an Auto Accident
Make sure you are safely away from the scene of the accident and have called the appropriate authorities in order to have them document the incident officially. Take photos of your car and the other involved parties’ vehicles if possible, to document the accident visually, since most police reports are only written.
Call your auto insurance carrier the same day of the accident to start a claim through your policy and explain your situation clearly so they can assist you to the best of their abilities.
Get your injuries evaluated by a Chiropractor within 14 days of the accident. If you wait beyond the 14 day window, your insurance will decline to pay for your necessary treatment, so don’t hesitate or wait! On your first visit with us we will do a full physical examination of your injuries, digital x-rays onsite, treatments, recommendations for home care and, if necessary, refer for MRI or to a local specialist for further evaluation.
Consider seeking legal counsel. We work with several local attorneys that will help you further navigate your accident claim. Not all accidents require legal action but, it is always wise to consult with an attorney to see if your situation warrants representation. All attorneys we work with offer free consults on the phone or in-person.
At this point you have handled this stressful situation exceptionally well and you are on your way to recovery! Don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at any point in this process if you need further guidance.
