What Should I Do After an Injury?
What you do in the moments immediately after an accident can affect your chances of receiving fair compensation through the injury claim you file later.
Let our attorneys know if you were able to do the following after your accident or injury:
- Document and report: Photographs of the scene of the accident are pivotal pieces of evidence in most personal injury claims and lawsuits. When an accident happens at a place of business, an accident report should be filled out and you should get a copy of it. If your injuries are severe, or there has been a car accident that left debris in the road, then 911 should be called.
- Seek medical attention: Emergency responders will take you to the hospital if you are severely injured. But if you are not, then you still need to take yourself to urgent care or have a family member take you. You could have underlying injuries that you won’t notice right away. A doctor’s initial diagnosis can help preserve your health and clearly establish when your injuries happened and what most likely caused them.
Of course, after a serious injury, you should also speak with local personal injury attorneys, like those you can find here at Walner Law® in Chicago. We are well-versed with Illinois’s liability laws, as well as how courts, juries, insurance companies, and other parties all tend to operate within the city and Cook County.
