Among the most important things your personal injury attorney will do for you are gathering evidence for your case and handling most communication and negotiations with the insurance company, and there are many things you can do to help your attorney to establish your case and earn compensation for your injuries and losses.
If you’ve been injured in an accident, make sure to obtain a copy of the police report for the accident; this is especially important if the other driver was issued a ticket or summons as a result. If possible, taking photographs of the accident-scene and your injuries is highly beneficial for your attorney and establishing your case. If you’re aware of any witnesses to the accident, obtain their names and contact information as soon as you can; your attorney will handle witness depositions as long as the witnesses can be identified and are willing to provide statements.
It’s highly recommended to use a large box or folder to store any and all medical paperwork and documentation related to your recent accident, and you can also use a notebook or journal to document firsthand how the accident and resulting injuries have affected your daily life and well-being, as well as a calendar to keep track of doctors’ appointments, medications, hospital visits, physical therapy sessions, or other medical care.
