Creating An Action Plan After A Missouri Auto Accident Part 1

Our article, "Automobile Accident-What You Should Do First" focuses on the first few hours after a car accident. But, you've received medical treatment and you are on the road to recovery, what do you do?

The days and weeks following a Missouri car accident can be emotional and confusing. Your life may have changed in so many ways that you know longer recognize it. How can you bring order out of the confusion?

The Harrisonville, MO auto accident lawyers at Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys suggest creating an action plan to help you deal with the physical, mental, and financial aspects of the accident.

Your action plan should include:

1. Medical Plan
2. Employment Plan
3. Insurance Plan
4. Social Benefits Plan
5. Legal Plan

1. Your Medical Plan

Whether your injury was mild or life-threatening, your health should be your first concern.

1. See a doctor to get treatment for any immediate or life-threatening injuries.
2. See a specialist who can correctly diagnose and treat any long-term conditions.
3. When necessary, find a physical therapist to help you regain function after your injury.
4. Go to all follow-up appointments.

2. Your Employment Plan

If you are seriously injured, it may be some time before you are able to return to work.

1. As soon as possible after the accident, contact your employer and let them know that you are injured and are medically unable to work. If you cannot do this, ask a friend or family member to make the call for you.

2. Obtain verification of your injury from your doctor.

3. Speak to a company representative about your employment status while you are injured. They will let you know if you have any paid sick/leave time that you can use and if your health insurance will cover your accident injuries.

4. If your Missouri car crash occurred while you were performing your job duties, your employer should also provide information about Missouri Worker's Compensation. Missouri Worker's Compensation covers the medical expenses of employees who are injured while on the job. If you have questions about your eligibility for Missouri Worker's Compensation, contact the Harrisonville, MO auto accident lawyers at Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys at 888-348-2616.
