If you have suffered any kind of injury or loss through the fault of another party your first consideration after seeking any necessary medical attention of course, should be to contact a lawyer who has knowledge of the particulars associated with personal injury law. Not only will you want to be reassured by legal counsel asap, but there may be a statute of limitations that could have an influence on your case.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding your claim you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, loss of income or property damage. If your injury has inhibited your ability to work for instance, you may not have the sufficient savings to withstand the loss of your wages. The sooner you can file an official petition the sooner you can receive the restitution that your family may need to get by.
If you are involved in a vehicular accident any evidence that you can provide that will support the fact that you were not at fault will be helpful to your attorney. Never leave the scene of an accident without calling the authorities. The law requires an official police report in order to settle liability. If you are able to talk to anyone there who may have witnessed the incident and can back up your account of what happened be sure to get their contact information. If your case winds up in court their testimony could prove invaluable. Any evidence from the scene will hasten an investigation.

Your immediate needs could be met but the aftermath of your injuries could cause serious secondary problems, both physical and psychological.
