It is important that if recommended, you go to the hospital. Please proceed to the hospital right away. Hospital records are extremely important in evaluating which injuries occurred in the accident. The insurance industry often suggests that injuries had already existed or are not related to the accident because there was no initial complaint at the time of the accident.

Make notes of damages and take pictures.

It is absolutely vital that you begin a diary containing dates, times, places of medical treatment and insurance contacts.
