What to do when injured
Personal injury victims
If you are the victim of a personal injury, there are several things you can do to help yourself:
- Make sure that you seek proper medical attention and that you follow up with the proper authorities and your own insurance company.
- If you believe your injury was caused by the carelessness or intentional act of another, contact Slocumb Law Firm, LLC, to schedule a consultation.
- You should be cooperative with the police, your own treating physicians and your own insurance company.
Gather your information to help you win your case
Victims should photograph the following to provide evidence in your case:
- Cuts
- Bruises
- Broken bones
- Automobile damage
- Property damage
- Site of injury
- Dog (for dog bite cases, only if photographing animal does not put you in danger)
It is also helpful if you can provide the names, addresses and phone numbers of witnesses to your personal injury accident.
You will need to keep accurate records of your out-of-pocket losses resulting from the personal injury, including medical bills and lost wages. Later on, the insurance company will demand documentation of all medical treatment, billings, and lost income.
