my daughter got into an accident but was not at fault, what do we need to about getting her compensation

I regularly handle personal injury claims, and am able to offer this list of what to do after a car accident.  I realize it may be too late at this point since the accident has already occurred, but go through the list to check off what you do have.  This will allow you to organize the information, which will make it much better for a personal injury attorney to investigate your claim. If you have not already done so, take pictures of the damage to the car.  Get two estimates for the damage.  Even if your daughter is not showing any immediate signs of injury, take her to a medical professional for treatment.  You should probably consult with an attorney, as he will probably be able to refer your daughter to an appropriate healthcare provider.  She should start keeping a diary of her pain and how it is affecting her daily life.  If she has lost time from work, or is paying for a rental car or other expenses, keep track of those costs.  Ultimately, the value of the claim will depend on the total of the medical bills, car damage, lost wages, rental expenses, and the severity of the physical injuries.
