if you’re in the unfortunate situation

of being in a car accident if possible

you first need to get a police report

and have the accident documented you

should never leave the scene of an

accident until or unless there is some

documentation because the other vehicle

leaves the scene and you can’t identify

it you may need to prove that you

notified the police once you have that

under control then you really need to

think about yourself in terms of your

injuries because we all like to think

that we’re indestructible but you’re not

and if you’re in an accident you should

seek care promptly you should notify

your insurance company because in

Pennsylvania and in New Jersey where we

practice in both States you’re obligated

to have medical care provided through

your automobile insurance policy so you

want to get to an emergency room your

family doctor so that you get that

Prompt Care from there you can call us

will talk to you we’ll explain what your

rights are we’ll go through the issues

if your case resulted from the

negligence of another party we’ll be

able to take care of you everything from

the start of that case up to the end

whatever that ultimately is the

settlement the verdict

Etc but first thing you need to do is to

make sure your accident is reported and

that you’re taking care to document

whatever your injuries are you shouldn’t

take it lightly because if you do you

may make a mistake and as an example a

few years ago I was rear-ended it

happens to all of us and it was

fortunate that I went to the hospital

because my head was a little shaky and

they were able to figure out that there

was an injury there but a lot of us

would say oh I’m shaking up it’s okay

I’ll just go home well the best thing I

did was go to the hospital to get

checked out and everyone should do the

same thing take take care of yourself

you want to fix your body
