Being injured in a car accident is a traumatic experience. Many times, injuries from collisions are severe and victims want to be compensated for damages resulting from the injuries. Not many victims, however, are aware of the process or know what steps to take. This adds confusion to an already confusing situation.
A simple rule to follow is that when in doubt, consult an Illinois car accident attorney. This article will briefly explain the process for claiming compensation for damages after a car accident.
Take Stock of Your Injuries
The process begins with the accident that causes the injury. Account for your injuries. Notice how many there are and how severe they are. Also try to remember as much about the crash as possible, especially details that show it was the other driver’s fault. Writing down details as soon as possible can be very helpful later on.
