We never expect to be in an accident, especially a serious vehicle accident. But no matter how safely we behave, someone else may make a mistake. There are some basic steps you should follow if you do experience a serious motor vehicle accident. These are:
- report the accident
- make a TAC claim
- give a short, concise description of your accident
- leave open the description of your injuries
- accurately detail your full medical history
- engage a specialist personal injury lawyer
If you follow these basic steps, you will not only enhance your opportunity to obtain the support you need from the TAC, you may also secure generous compensation for any serious injury suffered in the accident.
Henry Carus + Associates has produced a free guide outlining what you should do in the event of a serious vehicle accident.
