A car accident can change your life. One of the hardest things to deal with after an accident is your finances, especially after you are injured. Below are the most important calls you can make for your financial future.

Visit a Doctor
It’s also important that you visit a doctor during your attempts to secure your finances. You may need a doctor’s note to get the necessary time off, and you will certainly need medical records to prove your injuries if you are involved in a court case.
Most importantly, though, a good doctor will help you to get back on your feet and prescribe the proper course of action to help you to get your health back.

Contact Your Work
It’s also a good idea to get in contact with your place of employment when you are involved with a car accident.
You may need to take time off or be put on light duty – and that’s only if you’re fortunate enough to be able to keep working at all.
Attempting to go back to work or even letting your work know that you are no longer able to perform your duties will help you in the future, especially if your injuries prevent you from resuming your job.
