ATLANTA, GA, April 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) The moments immediately following a serious auto accident can be overwhelming and scary, especially if someone suffers serious personal injury or death. Oftentimes, people are in a state of shock and not thinking clearly following a horrific car accident, but the moments immediately following the accident are critical to the outcome of a personal injury claim that may be filed later.
For this reason, even though you will be overwhelmed and frightened, it is important that you take certain steps after a car accident and never admit fault at the scene of the accident or to any insurance representative or police officer. Admitting fault at the scene of an Atlanta car accident can have a detrimental effect on the outcome of your car accident lawsuit later.
What to Do After a Car Accident
- Seek medical attention for any car accident injuries
- Proofread your police report to ensure its accuracy
- Exchange insurance information with the other involved parties
- Write down the names and phone numbers of witnesses
- Take photographs of the accident scene
- Document any time lost from work
- Keep track of all medical visits and expenses related to your injuries
- Keep receipts of all expenses related to the accident
- Consult an experienced Atlanta car accident attorney
What Not to Do After a Car Accident
- Do not admit fault
- Do not agree to a settlement from any insurance company
- Do not speak to other driver(s)
- Do not give more than "yes" or "no" answers to your insurance company (these statements are recorded and can be used against you later)
Although you may be thinking clearly in the moments right after a car accident, it is important that you follow these steps to ensure the validity of a personal injury claim later.

Plasma nanoscience needed for green energy revolution
2011-04-14
A step change in research relating to plasma nanoscience is needed for the world to overcome the challenge of sufficient energy creation and storage, says a leading scientist from CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering and the University of Sydney, Australia.
Professor Kostya (Ken) Ostrikov of the Plasma Nanoscience Centre Australia, CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering, has highlighted, in IOP Publishing's Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, the unique potential of plasma nanoscience to control energy and matter at fundamental levels to produce cost-effective, ...
Correcting Severe Dental Problems
2011-04-14
The modern cosmetic dentist is increasingly able to correct severe dental problems more comfortably and in less time. Treatment options are available for everything from repairing or replacing a tooth to realigning your jaw. It is important to pay attention to any discomfort as it may be a sign of an undiscovered issue.
Preventing and Treating Tooth Erosion
Frequent visits to your dentist combined with healthy oral hygiene at home are the best preventions for dental problems. Serious infection can occur from a damaged tooth that goes undetected. While teeth naturally ...
Stillbirths: The invisible public health problem
2011-04-14
Some 2.6 million third trimester stillbirths worldwide occur every year, according to the first comprehensive set of stillbirth estimates, published today within a special series in the medical journal The Lancet.
Every day more than 7,300 babies are stillborn. A death occurs just when parents expect to welcome a new life.
Ninety-eight percent of stillbirths occur in low and middle-income countries. Wealthier nations are not immune with 1 in 200 pregnancies resulting in a stillbirth - two thirds occurring in the last trimester of pregnancy, a rate that has stagnated ...
Child Custody and Child Support Considerations
2011-04-14
Parenting time and child custody are necessary considerations in divorce agreements where children are involved. This is a particularly difficult process and can result in lengthy legal battles. Ultimately, the courts will determine what is in the best interest of the child. This may require expert testimony from a Child and Family Investigator appointed by the court, or from friends and relatives of the parents and children.
Considerations in Custody Battles
The court will consider several factors when determining the best interest of a child. This can include things ...
Loch fossils show life harnessed sun and sex early on
2011-04-14
Remote lochs along the west coast of Scotland are turning up new evidence about the origins of life on land.
A team of scientists exploring rocks around Loch Torridon have discovered the remarkably preserved remains of organisms that once lived on the bottom of ancient lake beds as long as a billion (1000 million) years ago.
These fossils illuminate a key moment in the history of evolution when life made the leap from tiny, simple bacterial (prokaryote) cells towards larger, more complex (eukaryotic) cells which would make photosynthesis and sexual reproduction possible.
The ...
Experimental treatment for COPD in development
2011-04-14
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have developed a non-steroid based strategy for improving the lung's innate immune defense and decreasing inflammation that can be a problem for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In a study published in the April 13 edition of the journal Science Translational Medicine, the Johns Hopkins researchers targeted the Nrf2 pathway using sulforaphane, an ingredient that is present in broccoli in a precursor form, to enhance the Nrf2 pathway in the lung that mediates the uptake of bacteria. ...
Rules of the Road for California Motorcyclists
2011-04-14
California's temperate climate, long stretches of highway and sunny days make it a motorcyclist's dream. Riders can take to the streets all year long, feeling the wind in their hair and enjoying the freedom that can only be felt on a bike. Of course, as gas prices and temperatures continue to climb, more and more motorcycles will be on the road. Before summer riding season gets in full swing, though, it is important for California motorcyclists to know the rules of the road, including two laws unique to motorcycles.

Higher CCSVI prevalence confirmed in MS, but meaning of findings remains unclear
2011-04-14
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A just released study on the relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and chronic cerebral venous insufficiency (CCSVI), a narrowing of the extracranial veins that restricts the normal outflow of blood from the brain, found that CCSVI may be a result of MS, not a cause.
The study, conducted by University at Buffalo researchers, appears in the current issue of Neurology, the journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Robert Zivadinov, MD, PhD, associate professor of neurology in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and president of ...
Your flaws are my pain
2011-04-14
Today, there is increasing exposure of individuals to a public audience. Television shows and the internet provide platforms for this and, at times, allow observing others' flaws and norm transgressions. Regardless of whether the person observed realizes their flaw or not, observers in the audience experience vicarious embarrassment.
For the first time, such vicarious embarrassment experiences as well as their neural basis have been investigated in research published in the open-access, peer-reviewed journal PLoS ONE. The research was led by Sören Krach and Frieder M. ...
Study: To students, music piracy and shoplifting are worlds apart
2011-04-14
What's the difference between stealing a CD from a music store and ripping off music online? The music industry and law enforcers say that there is none: Theft is theft, whether it's physical or digital.
College students participating in a newly published study, however, said that while they were unlikely to shoplift and viewed that behavior as immoral, they were not exactly motivated to follow the laws governing digital music piracy -- a finding that underscores the difficulties of enforcing such laws and to find new ways to discourage the theft of all types of digital ...
