What Steps Should You Take If You Were in an Accident in Indiana?
If you were involved in an accident in Huntington, you should take immediate steps to protect your health and your legal rights. We suggest that you:
- Get medical treatment. You should see a doctor in order to ensure that your injuries are diagnosed and – for the sake of your legal claim – timely documented.
- Gather evidence. You should collect all materials that may bear on your claim, including photos of the accident scene, witness contact information, medical bills, receipts of accident-related expenses and letters from insurance companies.
- Get a copy of your accident report. An accident report can provide helpful information about the crash or other incident which caused you to suffer injuries. You can contact the local police department which responded to your accident such as the Huntington Police Department or Huntington County Sheriff’s Office or by going to BuyCrash.com. However, the easiest way is to simply contact Truitt Law Offices. We will track down and provide a report to you for free.
- Write it down. You should write down everything you can recall about the incident that harmed you, including when and where it happened and how your injuries have affected your ability to work and enjoy life.
- Talk to us before you speak with the insurance company. You may be contacted by an insurance company shortly after your accident. You should talk with your lawyer from Truitt Law Offices before you give a recorded statement or accept any settlement offer.
