What first steps should I take in my personal injury case?

First Steps in Your Personal Injury Case

There are a few steps you should take immediately upon realizing you have a personal injury case. Aside from going to a doctor and hiring a personal injury attorney, you should make sure to document everything surrounding the personal injury incident. Take photos of any injuries (personal or on property) and write down your own account of what happened while it is still fresh in your mind. Collect any other physical evidence, and speak to any eyewitnesses to the accident. Notify your insurance companies of what happened, and also have your legal counsel notify any other involved parties of your intent to file a legal claim. This way you have covered all of your bases, legally, so that you will be able to have a strong personal injury case.
