After an injury car accident, take these steps to help the recovery process

When someone has been injured in a car crash, it's hard to know what to do to help. Injured people need appropriate medial treatment, but they also need to have their civil and legal rights protected.

After a serious crash, several steps need to be taken, including dealing with the insurance companies, tracking and documenting lost income from missed work, coordinating medical bill payments, and handling an insurance claim.

I'm looking up Jody Guerrero's status .unable to get an update as to whether ir not he was re arrested and charged eventually, after being released on April 12th, 3 days after he killed Mr Gillaspy. Presumably they released him with no bail while the DA was building the case. As I said on April 13th why nobody saw this killer as a flight risk baffles me. Lord knows.if he hightailed it to Mexico he will never return north. I will continue looking for current status on this POS
