What to do When you Suffer an Injury

Victims of negligent and intentional acts who suffer physical and emotional injury and financial losses are entitled to compensation from the responsible party. Obtaining fair and full compensation does not come automatically however. The victim must provide tangible proof of the losses and demonstrate the negligence or intention of the other party.

In most cases, this requires the help of an experienced personal injury attorney.

Take Immediate Action

If you have suffered a serious personal injury, you must take immediate action to preserve your rights to compensation.

After obtaining medical care for your injuries, take these critical actions:

1. Preserve as much evidence as possible.
   • Write down your recollection of the event.
   • Collect the names and phone numbers of witnesses.
   • Retain all physical evidence relating to the accident.
   • Take photos or videos of the accident site, the vehicles, and other relevant objects.
   • Do not repair or dispose of a defective product, or repair or scrap a damaged vehicle.
2. Do not speak with an insurance company representative or sign any documents before you have spoken with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
3. Take notes throughout your recovery period.
   • Document all of the physical and emotional effects of your injury. A daily diary can help in this regard.
   • If you are self-employed or work on commission, document all of the real and potential income you have lost.
4. Call Becton, Slifkin & Bell at 919-755-1068 as soon as possible.
