Emergencies happen more often than you’d like to think. They can range from leaks, floods, accidents, and fires to sudden illnesses of family members or friends.
You’re in the middle of a crisis and need someone to help you out but don’t know who to call. The best thing you can do is prepare for the worst-case scenario by having a team of experts on speed dial. Whether you need an expert for your business or your personal life, here are some people that should be on speed dial when things get hectic!
Your Attorney
They are some of the most influential people that you will need to contact in an emergency. Make sure that their phone numbers are saved on your cell or landline phones (and all devices) for quick access when needed. If they do not pick up, try reaching them at their office number before calling 911.
Your attorney should be able to advise you on the best course of action to take, and they may even be able to get a hold of your loved one while police are still at the scene. Your attorney will also help you understand how much information you can release without jeopardizing an investigation or future legal proceedings. Often it is better not to say anything until after you have had the chance to speak with your attorney.
In case of an accident or an injury, a reputable personal injury attorney will help you stake a claim for a refund or catering the bills. Be sure to choose the right attorney for the job.
Your Confidant
Your confidant is your best resource in emergencies. They can provide insider information on the situation, connect you with the right people and help you navigate challenging times without putting yourself at risk. They’re your best bet for getting through a crisis. Your confidant will also help you get your life back on track after an emergency.
Because you’re already close, they can help you figure out what your next steps should be. They’ll make sure that nothing falls through the cracks and will give you a much-needed reality check if needed. Your confidant is there for support when life throws lemons at you unexpectedly. If necessary, they will also take up arms with you in a fight.
Your Doctor
Your doctor is the obvious choice for emergencies, as they can assess your condition and recommend a course of action. With their knowledge, they will be able to diagnose the problem and treat it appropriately accurately. Your doctor is also more likely to know your medical history, which will allow them to provide the best care possible.
If you can’t get in touch with your doctor right away, it may be a good idea to call their office and ask for advice over the phone. It’s important not to self-diagnose; however, if you need immediate help, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Financial Advisor
If you have a financial advisor, this person should be on speed dial. And, you should have a list of their phone numbers and email addresses in your emergency contacts. When an emergency strikes, it’s easy to panic and lose focus if the number for someone who can help is not near at hand. You might even forget all those great tips about how to handle emergencies that your financial advisor has given you.
Conclusion
With so many different types of emergencies, it can be challenging to know who to call. But there are professionals out there you should have on speed dial in case something happens when you’re not home or cannot contact anyone else. These people will provide the necessary care until paramedics arrive and do everything they possibly can to help you and your pet. The experts above are only a few that should not miss on your speed dial.
