AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
When you are involved in an automobile accident, your entire life can be changed in a blink of an eye. If you receive injuries, they can prevent you from working as you have in the past, they can cause you chronic pain and suffering in your day to day living, and can even effect your relationships with family members. Obviously, medical treatment is the first concern you have. Contact your medical professional to give you the proper treatment. The next step is to call an experienced trial attorney to help you get through this difficult time.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO IMPROVE THE OUTCOME OF YOUR CASE?
- The single thing that will affect the outcome of you case is retaining an attorney with significant personal injury practice to represent you throughout the case
- Gather documentation from the accident (Photographs of you and your vehicle, medical reports and bills, police report, etc.)
- Keep a diary listing significant events, problems you have experienced, loss of work, alteration of your lifestyle, and pain you experience.
- Review your case with your attorney
- Don’t make any more statements until after consulting with an attorney
