What should I do after I am injured in an auto accident?

After an auto or  truck accident, you should immediately call your insurance company. Michigan is a no-fault insurance state. So several statutes will apply to the accident. You should call your insurance company because they need as much information as possible about the accident. For instance, the other vehicle driver's information, the police department that is investigating the crash, and your injuries. Since you are injured,  you should go to the hospital. You should not talk to the other driver's insurance company. Under the Michigan No-Fault Act  injury claims for pain and suffering are against the driver that caused the accident. Before you commit to any statement, you should meet with a qualified personal injury attorney. The Law Offices of Gerald R Stahl has represented injured victims since 1982. It is too important to your future to try to deal with your problems without a professional attorney. Any wrong statements could potentially hurt your chances for fair recovery.
