After a crash, you should get medical treatment as soon as possible. You can go to a facility such as the Covenant Health Hobbs Hospital. Although they do not offer a certified trauma center, they have 24/7 emergency services , including two trauma rooms. They are equipped to treat emergencies and can move you to a higher-level facility, if necessary.
You should also seek ongoing medical care after a crash to continue to document your injuries. You should call your primary care physician or find a doctor soon after your accident.
You may have more than physical injuries after a crash. Emotional suffering is common. If you lost a loved one in the wreck, you may need to address your grief while you mourn their loss.
The Guidance Center of Lea County, Inc. (GCLC) provides mental health services to people in need. They even offer a sliding scale fee for lower income individuals. If you were in a crash that wasn’t your fault, the at-fault driver’s insurance company will be responsible for all your medical treatment, including mental health treatment and grief counseling.
When you called 911, a police officer came to the scene of your crash. They likely completed an accident report, which you can review and give to your attorney or use as evidence in your personal injury claim.
