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.

Due to what I feel may be unfair criticism of the driver on Facebook's Escondido Fights Crime, could any clarity or update to the story be given? Questions answered as to whether or not the driver was actually driving too fast, was the driver truly remiss in helping the victim, was the victim playing a role in the accident? I'm interested in the answers to this and I feel keenly for the sake of the victim's family and himself. I also feel for the sake of the driver. Thank you for any light you can shed on this.
