What should I do if I’m injured by a drunk driver?

If you are involved in a drunk driving accident, it is important to first ensure that everyone is safe and then assess for any injuries. Even if you do not feel your injuries are severe, it is very important to have a medical assessment. Injuries are not always immediately apparent, or they could worsen with time, so it is best to allow a doctor to perform a complete examination.

If your injuries are severe enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room, go! Once you are discharged, you will have access to the police report, which you should request as soon as you are able and make any notes about the accident that you can remember.

If you are treated at the scene, follow up with your physician as soon as possible and keep all documentation for any treatments done at the time and subsequently, for your insurance claim or lawsuit. It is also important to make note of anything that may be important for your claim, such as weather conditions, road conditions, witnesses, and contact information for everyone involved in the accident and get as many photographs of the scene and the vehicles as you can once you have been looked at by first responders. It is most important that you take care of yourself first. And again, once the police report is filed, get a copy and look for any discrepancies.  

In the days following your accident you will be contacted by an insurance adjuster requesting a statement. You are under no obligation to give an official statement to the drunk driver’s insurance company and you are actually advised to decline giving a statement at that time until you have had time to process what happened. You may also want to consider discussing your case with an experienced personal injury lawyer. 844 See Mike can review the details of your accident and advise you on what the best course of action would be for you or your loved one.
