medical attention. Your wellbeing is foremost. Even when you think you escaped
injury, things can deteriorate over time, especially with injuries, such as
concussion, spine and neck trauma. Seeking medical attention establishes a
record that may prove invaluable later on.
Report the
accident to the police. Your claim depends on it. You have 28 days, so you may
as well do it straight away to avoid complications.
Assuming
you’re able, note the details of the parties involved. They will ask you for
your details as well. Photos taken of the accident itself, will be valuable to
support your claims.
Make a
claim with your insurer within 3 months of the date of the accident. In order
not to miss out on injury benefits, you’ll want to have your claim in the
system before 28 days are up.
