What Should You Do, Legally, After Getting Injured?

Quick answer

What should you do legally after getting injured? First, arrange healthcare—see your doctor, or accept the ambulance if it's serious, advises Oakland attorney Andrew Dósa. Second, notify your own insurer, who may defend you and provide services like a rental car. Third, at least consult an attorney to understand the process before deciding whether to hire one.
