What to do:
When you are involved in a car accident involving injury or
property damage, there are a few essential things that you should
be aware of and know what to do:
• Report
the accident to your agent, broker or insurance company within
7 days – regardless of who is at fault. If you are
unable to report the accident within this time-period, report
it as soon as possible after - otherwise your insurance company
may not have to honour your claim.
• Start receiving
medical treatments immediately. Any injuries related
to the accident, however negligible they may be, can potentially
cause long-term damage if not cared for properly. A minor accident
may cause you no visible damages, but internal organs and vital
tissues could indeed be injured. Very often symptoms may appear
days, even weeks after the accident – and if not treated
properly can lead to chronic problems.
Only if you are receiving medical treatments are you entitled
to Accident Benefits and your final settlement from the insurance
company will be much larger.
• Hire
a legal representative specializing in personal injury cases who will deal directly with the insurance companies and their
lawyers for you. They will act on your behalf, in your best
interest, to provide you with hassle-free maximal accident injury
compensation.
