I may have a personal injury claim due to a car accident. What do I do?
I have recently been in a car accident that cause an injury. I have been under medical care for about 2 weeks with no real improvement of pain. The pain itself is being treated with medication, and because of a prior medical intervention on the area previously this may be a new chronic condition for me.
I have no idea how to deal with this. Do I get myself a personal injury lawyer early? Or just deal with it myself.
You should have (the day of the accident, preferably) contacted the insurance company, yours if this was a two vehicle accident, the guilty party if not. They will handle the claim.
You don’t need a lawyer unless the insurance company puts up a fight.
