Question
What's the first thing I should do if I am injured?
Answer

The main thing to do is to write down details, including names, addresses, phone numbers and, in case of automobile accidents, insurance names and policy numbers from others involved, witnesses and police officers, including their report numbers. Keep records of where and how the accident happened, including the weather and time of day. Take pictures of the injuries, property damage, and several views where the accident happened. It is important to review the section of "What to Do In Case of Injury or Accident" to see additional points. A crucial task will be to find a competent Personal Injury attorney.
