Step #1

Take time to consider your injuries.

Many peo­ple tell me…“I did­n’t feel any pain imme­di­ate­ly fol­low­ing the acci­dent.”

This is not a problem…Why?

You don’t always feel stiff­ness, pain or dis­com­fort imme­di­ate­ly fol­low­ing an acci­dent. It often takes hours, days or weeks before you start to real­ize that some­thing is not right.

So take the time now to think if you are feel­ing dif­fer­ent­ly since the acci­dent.

Step #3

Never delay in hiring a personal injury lawyer.

What’s the hur­ry?…

Con­sid­er the fol­low­ing:

• The police report may con­tain mis­takes that need to be cor­rect­ed imme­di­ate­ly.
• Crit­i­cal wit­ness­es may be hard to find lat­er.
• Pho­tos of the acci­dent scene and your injuries need to be tak­en.
• You need the prop­er med­ical treat­ment in order to doc­u­ment your injuries.
• You start to lose cred­i­bil­i­ty when the insur­ance com­pa­ny can ask “Why did you wait so long?”
• If you wait too long, you can seri­ous­ly impact the amount of your set­tle­ment.
