Personal Injury Priority #1 - You, the Victim

Friday, September 12, 2008 by Howard Andrew Raphaelson

Obviously, your first priority following an accident should be to secure medical care. At Raphaelson & Levine, our New York City personal injury lawyers take great pride in recognizing the difficulties victims face following accidents. But, there are certain things that should be done assuming they are safe to be done:

  • Photographs should be taken immediately,
  • It’s important to get names of witnesses,
  • It’s important to secur e incident reports or make a report to the person who’s responsible.

Ultimately, if it’s safe to do so, the right time to seek legal help is immediately. If the victim doesn’t protect their rights, the person who’s at fault will likely do everything they can to make sure the victim doesn't have the opportunity to present their claim.
