What Should I Do If I Broke My Leg in a Car Accident?
Step 1: Call the Authorities
If you were involved in a car accident, the first step should always be to call emergency services. They will put together a report that will be crucial evidence down the line.
They can also assist you in getting medical attention if you need it.
Step 2: Seek Medical Attention
If you believe your leg is broken, you should get evaluated by a medical specialist as soon as possible.

Doing this immediately after the accident will preserve your health and your rights to sue for your injuries in the future.
Step 3: Gather Documentation
After a car accident, you should try and gather as much documentation as possible. Try to collect the police report and witness statements, and hold onto any medical bills that stem from the accident.
Further, we recommend that you write down the series of events leading up to and after the accident while they are still fresh in your mind.

They dropped his case and he came to us.
