First, seek medical attention if needed and call emergency services if necessary. Then, document the scene, exchange information with other drivers, and file a police report. Keeping a record of time, date, and injuries helps your claim from the outset.

You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Future medical costs and reduced earning capacity can also be included if supported by evidence.
No legal requirement to hire a lawyer to file a claim, but having representation can improve the process, ensure proper documentation, and protect your rights throughout negotiations.
