What to Do After a Car Accident in Mississippi?

Being involved in a car accident is a frightening experience. However, there are certain things you should do to ensure your safety and protect your right to seek recovery in the days, weeks, or months following the incident.

If you are involved in a car accident in Mississippi, to the best of your ability, be sure to do the following:

• Seek Medical Attention: Even if you believe you were not gravely injured, you should still have yourself checked by a doctor. You may not realize the full extent of your injuries and, should you wish to pursue compensation, having proof that you were injured in the form of medical records can prove extremely valuable to your case. Our personal injury attorney can recommend medical doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists who can treat your injuries.
• Report the Accident: Call both the police and your insurance company. If the accident happened while you were driving for work, report it to your boss and/or HR department. You must report your injury in order to be able to file a workers’ compensation claim.
• Get an Estimate for Vehicle Repairs: Take your car or have a family member/friend take your car to a couple of auto repair shops to get an estimate on repairs. You can be compensated for repairs to your vehicle or the loss of your car or truck if it was totaled.

After taking these steps, reach out to the Mississippi car accident attorneys at our firm. At this point, your job is recovering and getting better; leave the rest to us.
