Things you should not do after an accident

    • Do not give any statements (written, recorded, or oral) to anyone concerning your accident or injuries without first getting our approval.
    • Do not make any incorrect statements about prior injuries or accidents to any doctor who treats or examines you. If you don’t remember, say so.
    • Do not change your address or employment without notifying your attorney.

Things you should remember after an accident

    • Address and Phone: Inform your attorney immediately if any change of address, telephone number, or employment takes place.
    • Medical Items: Save all pill bottles, casts, braces, and any other items from your doctors.
    • Photographs: Give us any pictures and videos of the accident or accident scene that you or anyone else has taken for you.
    • Receipts: Be sure to obtain and save all receipts itemizing any and all expenses you incurred as a result of your accident. Receipts must be dated and contain legible and complete vendor identification.
    • New information: Inform us of anything you think has a bearing on the case, including extensive medical treatment or hospitalization.

We understand that every client is special, and every case is unique. A personal injury attorney will take the time to thoroughly investigate your claim and determine the circumstances that led to your injury. We also don’t want you to make any mistakes that could potentially harm your case.
