After a crash, fall, dog bite, or other serious injury, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. The steps you take early on can matter for both your health and a potential personal injury claim.
Swipe through for a practical checklist:
• Get medical care and follow your provider’s recommendations
• Report the incident and request a copy of the report when possible
• Take photos of the scene, injuries, vehicles, or hazardous conditions
• Save bills, records, correspondence, and contact information for witnesses
• Be careful before giving recorded statements or accepting an early settlement offer
