Your first days can determine how smoothly your uninsured motorist claim moves.
- Get medical care immediately (and follow the treatment plan). Even when injuries “seem manageable,” documentation matters.
- Request the police report and confirm your crash details are accurate.
- Preserve crash evidence:
- photos of the scene and vehicle damage
- witness names/phone numbers (if available)
- any dashcam or surveillance video you can identify
- Write down a timeline while memories are fresh—how the crash happened, what you felt, and when symptoms changed.
- Be careful with statements to insurance. Adjusters may ask questions that sound routine but can later be used to limit coverage.
If you’re dealing with a claim right now, you don’t have to figure out what to do alone. A local uninsured motorist attorney can help you protect your rights while you focus on recovery.
