What Should I Do if I am Hurt in a Traffic Accident?

If you were injured in a traffic accident in La Vergne or elsewhere in Rutherford County, taking prompt action can help protect both your health and your legal rights. Your priority should always be seeking medical attention, even if your injuries initially seem minor. Some symptoms, such as internal injuries, soft tissue damage, or concussions, may not appear immediately. A timely medical evaluation not only supports your recovery but also creates documentation linking your injuries directly to the crash.

It is also important to report the accident to law enforcement and obtain a copy of the official crash report once it becomes available. This report can serve as valuable evidence when filing an insurance claim. In addition, keeping detailed records of medical visits, treatment plans, prescriptions, therapy appointments, and any time missed from work can strengthen your compensation claim. Photographs of vehicle damage and visible injuries may also be helpful.

Be mindful of what you say at the scene and in the days following the accident. Avoid discussing fault or speculating about the cause of the crash. When speaking with insurance adjusters, provide accurate information, but consider waiting until you understand the full extent of your injuries before agreeing to a recorded statement or settlement offer. Early settlement offers may not fully account for ongoing medical care or future expenses.
