QUICK TIPS FOR ACCIDENT VICTIMS

Posted on May 6, 2009 by Jason Krebs

 1. Seek medical attention as soon as possible. 

2.  Get as many photographs of the accident scene and vehicles or objects involved in the accident as you can.  If you fell, get pictures of what you believe made you fall. YOU CAN NOT TAKE TOO MANY PHOTOS.  Make sure you have them "developed"or printed and safely stored on disk.  Do not leave them solely on your computer.  Now is not the time to save costs.

3.  Keep all medical records and bills that you receive.

4.  Keep a running list of all health care providers see.

5.  Immediately make a police report in case of any motor vehicle, motorcycle or bicycle accident.   Get  a copy of the police report.

6.  Keep a careful list of witnesses' names and contact information.  Get the name of the manager of the premises for any premises or slip and fall injury.

7.  Keep a list of all expenses or costs including lost wages you believe attributable to the accident.

Save your  prescription drug bottles and any casts, hardware, pins, braces, screws.  Save damaged personal property like clothing, eyeglasses, bicycles.  Anything damaged in the accident

Don't speak to anyone without the advice of an attorney.
