One of the first things you should do after a Detroit car accident that’s not your fault is seek medical attention for yourself and for anyone else who was injured. Next, you need to call the police, file a police report and make sure that the police document how the at-fault driver caused the car accident.
Talking to an experienced Detroit car accident attorney is very important because your attorney will help you get the benefits you need to pay for your medical bills and lost wages and the compensation from the at-fault driver that you are entitled to for your pain and suffering.
In order to make sure you are doing everything possible after a Detroit car accident that’s not your fault, you need to know about the following:
- Why is it so important to seek medical attention immediately?
