What to do after a Brain Injury – Head Trauma

Brain Injury:   What to do if you think you have suffered from a Brain Injury

1.  Make sure you and those around you are safe.  Safety is the most important thing in life.  If you or another person has sustained a head injury immediately seek medical attention.   In many situations you may not be aware of serious injuries to the brain that you have sustained because of the shock of the accident.  Even if you believe you have not been injurer you should get a checkup with a medical professional.

2. Do not attempt to talk with the other party regarding fault or apologies.  Any words you may have said can be used against you when you are seeking compensation for your damages and injuries.  Even politeness can be used against you.

3. File an Accident Report:  Contact the local police department and report the injury and accident.  If you have a trusted personal injury car accident lawyer contact him if you have any questions regarding the process.

4. Don’t attempt to argue over fault with the other person involved.  If any argument takes place simply walk away to lessen the chances of a physical confrontation.

5. Don’t be shy:  if there are witnesses who can testify on your behalf asked them for their contact information.

6. Be Careful Who You Talk To – if the other party’s insurance company contacts you, your best response is to get in touch with a car accident injury attorney and ask him to speak with the other party’s agents.
