What to Do If You’re Involved in a Train Accident in Gainesville
Whether you’re a railroad employee, passenger, or a bystander, if you’re injured in a Jacksonville train accident, there are a few steps you should take. These steps can help protect the integrity of your personal injury case.
Seek Medical Attention
One of the first and most important steps is to take care of your health. This means seeking immediate medical attention for your injuries. Even if you don’t have any obvious injuries, it’s still a good idea to make an appointment with a physician. Some injuries can take a few days before they start showing signs and/or symptoms. You’ll also need the medical records to help support your personal injury claim.
Contact an Attorney
Your next step should be to consult an attorney at Morgan & Morgan. We have a nationwide network of over 1,000 attorneys, and some are located in the Gainesville area. If we decide to take your case, we will handle every aspect, including negotiating with the insurance provider. What you don’t want to do is accept a settlement offer before talking to an attorney. Once you accept a settlement, your case is considered closed, even if your medical expenses continue piling up.
Don’t Discuss the Accident
The only person with whom you should discuss the train accident is your attorney. Your words can be used against you by the defendant’s insurance company. This can affect your settlement amounts or even the integrity of your personal injury claim.
