What is the FIRST step after being injured in a road accident?

Seek immediate medical attention!

Your health comes first… get to a doctor, clinic, or hospital right away, even if injuries seem minor! Some issues (like whiplash, internal bleeding, or concussion) don't show up immediately, and early medical records are crucial for proving your RAF claim later.

Key immediate actions:

  • Get medical help - Document everything: hospital reports, X-rays, doctor's notes, bills. This builds the foundation for past/future medical claims.
  • Report the accident to the police (as soon as reasonably possible, ideally within 24–48 hours) - Get that official police report (AR form). It's required for your RAF claim and helps establish fault/evidence.
  • Gather basics - Note witness details, photos of the scene/vehicles (if safe), and any other info while it's fresh.

From there, consult a specialized RAF attorney (no-win-no-fee) to guide the rest… lodging the claim, gathering more evidence, and avoiding pitfalls. Contact us if you need assistance in selecting an attorney, we have worked with many firms over the years and can expertly guide you. Do NOT sign any attorney’s agreements unless you have done a reference check on the attorney. Especially not while you are still in hospital! We can also provide a reference check on an attorney if you would like.

The RAF process can take years due to investigations and backlogs, so if you're facing financial strain from medical costs or lost income during the wait... WeBridge offers regulated advances on your expected payout to help bridge the gap and give you peace of mind sooner.
