[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"What you do in the days and weeks after an accident can have a big effect on your claim. Be sure to see a doctor if you haven\u2019t already. You may visit the emergency room, a nearby urgent care center, or your primary care physician.  Factors like adrenaline sometimes cause injured parties to not realize they\u2019re injured. You may have sustained injuries you don\u2019t know about because they haven\u2019t caused visible harm or immediate symptoms.  Err on the side of caution and see a doctor regardless of how \u201cfine\u201d you may feel. You might need treatment without knowing it. Additionally, if you develop symptoms later, an insurance company might argue your injuries may be from another cause. Guard against this tactic by seeing a doctor as soon as possible.  You should also start gathering whatever evidence of the accident you may have, including by writing down your memory of events while it\u2019s still fresh. Assemble any documents about the accident in a folder, including medical bills, communications with your employer about time off work, and anything else related to the expense of the accident.  Finally, get in touch with an attorney for help pursuing your personal injury claim.","@id":"https:\/\/www.mtllawfirm.com\/blog\/what-is-average-settlement-for-an-accident-in-south-carolina\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"South Carolina law\u00a0establishes deadlines for how long injured parties have to take legal action.
