Before you find yourself in a car accident, you should be aware that over half of all car accidents today result in a personal injury claim. This adds up to over three million annual claims, with many such claims offering just compensation for physical pain and suffering as well as personal grief. There are, however, some things that you should know with any car accident, and these are things that should be known prior to the accident.First and foremost, at any car accident, whether you are thinking you have a case for an auto accident claim or not, seek out medical attention on-site. Do not refuse to be tended to by the EMS, and if they recommend that you be taken to the emergency room for further testing, it is important that you comply. Getting in an accident is an inconvenience, and getting taken to the hospital certainly only adds to the day's issues. However, having a fast, thorough evaluation of your medical health is critical to an auto accident claim. Often you are in a state of shock, or physical pain may set in a few days after the accident, and you may be injured but not feel injured quite yet.After your accident and getting the medical attention you need, your next step is to file an auto accident claim through a personal injury attorney. He or she can let you know what to expect in terms of a settlement award, the time commitment, the process including negotiations of the claim, and so forth. It is important to note that in many cases, the insurance company of the injured party will pay most or all of your claim. While many people feel wronged, and are in fact wronged by the actions of another, many do not want to target another person or family. But knowing that an insurance company will bear financial responsibility often makes it easier.
