In addition to contacting CPY Law to speak with a personal injury lawyer, here are a few tips to consider:
- Document the Scene of the Injury: If you can, take photos and videos of your injuries and where the incident occurred. Get contact information from any witnesses or people involved in what happened.
- See a Doctor as Soon as Possible: Even if you show no signs of injury, go see a doctor. Some symptoms take time to appear. Getting checked out ASAP establishes a connection between the incident and your injuries, and it creates an official record of what happened.
- Do Not Agree to a Recorded Statement: Insurance companies may reach out and ask for a recorded statement. Do not agree to this. Reach out to an attorney before you start discussing what happened with the other party’s insurance company.
- Avoid Posting on Social Media: Avoid saying anything about what happened or your injuries on social media. Insurance companies will look for mistakes or any statements that could undermine the severity of your injuries.
