Steps to Take After an Accident

If you have been injured, there are some steps you should take immediately:

• Keep Notes: Document as much as possible after an accident. An injury case can take months to finalize, and the farther away from the event you get, the more difficult it becomes to recall key details. To successfully bring a personal injury claim you’ll need to establish that the defendant injured you. Be sure you write down exactly what happened before, during, & after the accident. Writing everything down when it is fresh in your mind will ensure that you don’t forget crucial details after the fact.
• Look around for possible witnesses. If you’re able to move around after the injury look for people nearby who may have seen what happened. After locating witnesses, ask them if they would be willing to make a brief statement about what they saw. Record with your phone or write down the statements & contact information for each witness. Ask for full names, address, & telephone numbers.
• Take photographs: We always recommend that our clients keep a journal and take photographs of any visible or tangible evidence immediately.
• See a doctor: It is important to ensure that every complaint you have after an accident is being treated. Not only is it important for your health, it could also be critical to the success of your claim. If you’re hurt the only way you can demonstrate that after the fact is if you had to seek medical attention. The truth of the matter is that you may have pain after an accident, but if you don’t get medical treatment, then it is hard to prove that you were hurt & easy for the defendant to argue that you were not hurt. Don’t hide your pain and boast about being just fine, get to a Doctor and get the help you need immediately.
• Be consistent with your symptoms reporting. When filling out medical paperwork or speaking with your doctor or nurse, communicate your symptoms, including symptoms you’re having at that moment as well has symptoms you’ve had since the accident.
• Be descriptive of your symptoms. When sharing your symptoms to your Doctor let them know exactly what type of pain you’re experiencing.Don’t forget to be accurate about your medical history because if you have had medical treatment to your lower back before & injured it again in this new accident the Doctor needs to know to prescribe the best treatment for you.
• Continue physician-recommended treatment: Be sure to attend all your appointments and ensure that the doctors transcribed your complaints, and symptoms. We have unfortunately seen numerous claims denied because clients of gaps in medical care and improper treatment of injuries.
• Communicate at all times with your attorney and don’t start discussions with the insurance company without an attorney to guide you. Insurance companies prefer to settle injury claims as quickly & economically as possible & settling a claim fast is usually to avoid a lengthy litigation process. This insurance company tactic may not be in your best interest. The complex language of insurance policies & the hardball tactics used by some claims adjusters can leave you feeling frustrated & confused. Don’t be surprised because that’s their job. Working with a personal injury attorney will ensure you get the results you are deserving for this injury.

A personal injury lawyer from our team can assist you in obtaining the compensation you deserve, and observing the right steps to position you for success.

Bonus Personal Injury Advice:

1. Avoid those recorded conversations with insurance adjusters. Ask for everything to be in writing so you can review it closely & not mis-speak after the trauma of an accident that has left you in pain.

2. Do not hesitate in contacting a personal injury attorney. The longer you wait to begin the process the longer it will take for you to receive the treatment & compensation you’re deserving of the injury you’ve suffered.
