Important First Steps After a Personal Injury

Call 9-1-1 to get first responders on the scene

This is especially true after a slip and fall, any car accident, dog bite or other incident where having a police or emergency responder on the scene can be helpful. Be sure to get a copy of the accident report for your records.

Seek medical care immediately

Being examined by a medical professional is critical even if you do not see any visible evidence of a wound. There are many injuries, such as soft tissue damage, concussions and internal bleeding, that may be very serious or even life-threatening if not treated early-on. Additionally, your examination and subsequent treatment will be noted in your medical records, creating a causal link to the accident and supporting evidence for a potential claim.

Follow the treatment plan

If you fail to follow the doctor’s orders, the insurance company may argue that your injuries are not serious or that they could have been caused by something else.

Photograph the scene

If your injuries and the overall circumstances allow you to do this safely, take pictures of the accident scene, including any vehicle damage, debris on the road, other property damage, skid marks, and weather and road conditions.

Take pictures of your injuries

If you can, photograph your injuries at the scene, but also take pictures throughout your recovery period to help establish the extent of your injuries.

Keep a daily journal to document your pain and recovery

Consistently documenting details about your accident and resulting injuries can help to create an accurate picture of your pain and suffering. Start with a clear description of how the accident happened and then document daily about your pain level, how your injuries limited your ability to do normal tasks, and any activities you are unable to do. Also note any feelings of depression, anxiety or stress you may be suffering.
