If you have been injured as the result of someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to money damages. Serious injuries can prevent you from working, lead to high hospital and rehabilitation bills, and interfere with your daily life — sometimes permanently. Whether you have been injured in a car accident, a slip and fall, struck by a vehicle while on foot or on a bike, injured or bitten by an animal, or harmed in any other way due to negligence, you do not deserve to suffer because of someone else's actions.

What to Do If You Are in a Car Accident
- Be Safe: Do not get out of your car in an active traffic situation. It is best not to move your car so that you can properly document where the accident took place, but do so if traffic conditions require it.
- Call the Police: If you are involved in an accident involving car damage or injuries, you have an obligation to call the police. Stay in your car until they arrive and follow their instructions.
- Document the Scene: Take pictures. There is no better evidence at trial than photos from the scene. Photograph both vehicles, street signs, and the surrounding area.
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention: If you are injured or feeling pain, do not delay treatment. Go to a hospital or urgent care center right away. If you do not seek treatment within 14 days of the accident, you will forfeit your right to receive Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits.
- Call an Attorney: From the moment your claim begins, insurance companies will be working to limit your recovery. Contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights. Do not sign any documents provided by the insurance company, and do not give a recorded statement without first speaking to an attorney.
