The most important person to speak to after you have been hurt in a personal injury accident is your doctor. For many reasons, seeking and obtaining the appropriate medical treatment should be of paramount importance after you have been injured. However, if your injuries have been caused by another person, that person’s insurance company will try to take your statement (usually recorded) as soon as possible. This initial communication can determine how much of your health or other expenses the company will cover.
