Kyle Moore's Answer
After a car accident, prioritize your safety, take photos of the scene, seek medical treatment when needed, and focus on recovery without rushing to settle or communicate with insurance.
Neglecting personal safety can lead to further harm.
Inadequate documentation may weaken your case.
Delaying medical treatment could affect your health and case.
Settling too quickly may result in inadequate compensation.

The first thing you should do after a car accident is make sure that you and your passengers
are okay. Your safety is the number one priority to me. The next thing you should do if you're
able is take some pictures of what's going on at the scene. That could be really helpful
for your case later. The next thing that I recommend that you do is get medical treatment
if you need it. I always tell clients make medical decisions based on your own care and
not your case. It may take several weeks though for you to figure out what's fully
wrong with you. You don't have to settle. You don't have to talk to the insurance company
during that time. All you have to do is worry about getting better and that's what you should
do.
