I’ve been injured as a resilt of someone elses negligence. What should I do?
Make sure you get all the information about the person who caused the injury. You can use this to contact his/her insurance carrier. The carrier will usually want to get a brief statement from you and their insured. This statement will be used to determine if they will accept liability for your claim and in any trial that may result. If there is some doubt as to whether liability will be accepted, you should seek legal counsel first. If you have given a statement, request a copy. Make that you are receiving medical treatment (if Necessary). Also, if there are any witnesses to the accident, you should get their names, addresses and telephone numbers. As soon as possible write a statement of all you remember from the incident but do not show it to anyone but your legal counsel.
