WHAT TO DO AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT
After a car accident, it’s important to protect yourself and your rights. Here are some key steps to follow:
- Stop and get to safety. If possible, move your car to the side of the road and check yourself and passengers for injuries. If you have injuries, call 911 immediately.
- Call the police. They will file an accident report, which you will need when you file your insurance claim.
- Exchange information with the other driver. Make sure to include their name, contact information, insurance information, and license plate number. Also, get the contact information of any witnesses.
- Document the details of the accident. Include the time, location, and weather conditions. Take pictures of the damage to your vehicle, the other driver’s vehicle, and the accident scene.
- Seek medical attention. Even if you don’t feel injured. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
- Contact a car accident lawyer to discuss your legal options. They can help you protect your rights and get the compensation you deserve.
By following these steps, you can help ensure that you are protected after a car accident.
THE 14-DAY RULE
The initial two weeks following your accident are paramount in safeguarding your rights and compensation. Seeking medical attention promptly can prevent exacerbation of any injuries sustained. Under Florida law, adherence to the 14-day timeframe is imperative to qualify for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. These benefits cover a spectrum of essential medical expenses incurred due to the accident, ensuring your access to necessary healthcare services. It’s crucial to consult an approved healthcare provider within this window, whether it be the emergency room, urgent care facility, or your primary care physician. By doing so, you ensure that your PIP benefits encompass vital services such as medical care, ambulance transportation, surgical procedures, X-rays, dental treatment, and rehabilitative therapies. Don’t overlook the significance of this timeframe; act swiftly to protect your well-being and secure the support you’re entitled to under the law.
