After you are involved in a car accident, a plan of action is necessary to be sure you receive the proper care and maximize the compensation that you may deserve. If an accident is not your fault, you have to be aware of the DOs and DONTs to protect your rights and maximize your case value to help you recover from your loss.

5 Things to DO After a Car Accident:

1. DO seek immediate help if you are injured.
2. DO take photos of the scene. Everyone has a cell phone with a camera, ask any witnesses for photos.
3. DO get the names of any witness or witnesses.
4. DO follow your treating physicians orders and document any time away from work.
5. DO keep a daily or weekly record of your progress. This can be useful down the road to recall how you were feeling at a specific time as your case progresses.

In Indiana, the law requires you to file a claim within a set time period. You need to contact a personal injury or car accident attorney immediately  to protect your rights and help you reach the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
