Injuries from an accident can leave you feeling not only physically bad but mentally overwhelmed also. You need to call a personal injury attorney immediately. It is essential that he begin working for you as soon as possible. He may want to interview witnesses, the EMS team if one was called, and the investigating law enforcement officer. He may take pictures of the accident scene, and the other car or cars involved.
It may be appropriate to have a vehicle accident expert look at the car to determine if there is something about the car that could have caused the accident. He will look at the overall condition of the car to get a sense of the driver’s responsibility for their car. If the car has bald tires and dents, then the driver is careless and neglects his car. He may be a careless driver who neglects following the rules of the road. Perhaps the car is full of empty or partially full beer bottles. This would be a powerful piece of evidence.
