Consult an Auto Accident Attorney

If you are injured in an auto accident or if damage to the vehicles exceeds a certain amount (usually $200-$500; amount varies depending on state), you must file a police report. Some states will also require that you file a report with the Department of Motor Vehicles. In addition to these reports, you must inform your insurance company and, if seriously injured, make sure that you receive regular medical care. It may be helpful to contact an auto accident attorney to help you accomplish these things.
