Have you suffered from a personal injury? Review this checklist to ensure you've taken all the necessary first steps


  • Write down anything and everything about the accident: This may include information about the actual accident, people, places or things involved, your injuries, any damages or losses as a result of the accident (including wages), diagrams, and any other information pertinent to the accident. Be sure to exchange names, addresses, phone numbers, driver's license numbers, insurance companies and policy numbers with the other driver.

  • Take notes on your thoughts, feelings, and conversations immediately after the accident: Jotting down these things immediately after the accident will be extremely helpful in the long run when trying to put together the facts of the case. Additionally, recording these immediate reactions and things you hear others say regarding the accident will prevent external factors from altering your recollection of the accident.

  • Gather all the evidence: Document and take pictures of your injuries, and take pictures of the scene of the accident, as well. This serves as concrete evidence, and therefore cannot be disputed. Additionally, revisit the scene within a day or two of the accident. Immediately following the accident things tend to be hectic and important pieces of evidence may very well be overlooked. By revisiting the scene you may come across crucial evidence.



  • Locate witnesses: Locating and getting the contact information of witnesses at the scene is imperative and may help your case. These witnesses may confirm your statements as well as provide additional information in your favor that you may have been unaware of. However, make sure these witnesses are contacted very shortly after the accident. Witnesses, too, may forget crucial information regarding the accident, or their memories may be altered. Contacting these people immediately will ensure they give you an accurate, unbiased account of the accident.
