We Handle Debts

a. See your Physician: Visit your Doctor right away if you suffer injury. Describe to your physician the intensity and location of your pain in an open and honest manner. Disclose all previous injuries that may be relevant because the Doctor will need to know this information for proper treatment. Your physician likely will ask many questions that you don’t have an answer for, and it is fine to say that you don’t know. You should never guess and give potentially false information. Of utmost importance, follow your Doctor’s recommendations and advice.

b. Do not communicate to anyone about your injury: Speak only to your Doctor and your Lawyer about your injury. Do not make statements whether in writing, over the telephone or in person to anyone without clearing it with your Attorney beforehand.

c. Visit http://www.personalinjuryresourcecenter.com to locate an attorney near you. Your lawyer will then be able to advise you regarding the proper next steps to take.

d. Do not make admissions: As you already are aware, you should not speak to anyone except your attorney and your doctor regarding your injury. Statements to others may be construed as admissions of fault.

e. Take Pictures: Of any damage to your property if applicable. If your vehicle is smashed in an auto accident, use good quality film and take at least 30 pictures.

f. Keep Evidence of Injury: Save all medication containers, arm and leg braces, casts, and any other medical equipment prescribed by your Doctor.

g. Accident Scene: Give any all pictures or videos of the accident scene that you or other witnesses may have to your Attorney.

h. Save Receipts: Gather all of your receipts that pertain to your injuries and itemize them according to expense. Make sure the receipts are readable and that they contain all proper vendor identification information.

i. More Information: Consult with your lawyer and tell him everything that you can remember about your case and everything that you believe is relevant. Your attorney will direct to you to the most important facts. Do not leave out any information about your hospitalization or treatment.
