What Should I Do If I Have Been Hurt in Owego?
- Call for help. If you need emergency assistance, call 911. For non-emergencies, use the numbers listed above to reach police and fire services in Owego.
- Seek medical treatment. Your first priority should be your health and safety. Even if you do not get medical treatment at the scene of the accident, it is still critical to see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. Not only will a thorough examination ensure that you receive proper treatment, it will also document your injuries. A full medical examination is extremely important to catch potentially life-threatening injuries that may go unnoticed until it is too late. Be sure to tell the doctor exactly how your accident occurred.
- Photograph the scene and your injuries. If you are able to, use your smartphone or a camera to take pictures of where the accident happened. Try to get several photos of the site and any obvious injuries you suffered. If you are unable to take pictures yourself, ask someone else to do it for you. Pictures of the scene could play a vital role in your personal injury lawsuit.
- Get contact information from witnesses and potentially responsible parties. Be sure to obtain contact information from everyone who saw the accident and anyone who may be responsible – for example, other drivers, the owner of the property where the accident happened or the manager of the business where you got hurt. Write down names, addresses and phone numbers.
