After An Injury: Investigate And Document

After a car accident or any other type of injury, it is imperative to document the incident properly.

2012-07-14

KANSAS CITY, MO, July 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Whether you are injured in an auto accident, by a defective product, on unsafe property, on the job, or by a medical care provider, immediately consult an attorney experienced in these types of cases to begin investigating your case and help you accomplish the following:

Document the Accident

Your attorney will assist you in gathering evidence for your case. You will likely need photographs of the scene as well as the names, addresses and telephone numbers of eyewitnesses. Photographs of your injuries, of you in your hospital bed, or of your damaged vehicle can be emotionally powerful evidence.

Save and Preserve Whatever Caused Your Injury

The cause of an injury can be difficult to prove, so save whatever it was that led to your injury-- the substance you slipped on, the shoes you were wearing, the spoiled food product you ingested, the defective product and its instructions and packaging.

Obtain Needed Medical Treatment

If you have an injury but do not see a doctor, an insurance adjuster or jury may not believe you were injured. Your attorney can direct you to a doctor who specializes in your type of injury.

Give a Statement with Your Attorney Present

The insurance company may tell you they need you to provide a recorded statement. In fact, they simply would like to have one so they can use it against you later.

Keep in mind that insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, so they want to pay you as little as possible. Never give a statement to an insurance adjuster without consulting your attorney.

If you or someone you know was injured and need assistance dealing with an insurance company or judge, contact Adler & Manson Personal Injury Attorneys for a free, no obligation evaluation.

Danger Of Texting While Driving From A Personal Injury Attorney's Perspective

2012-07-14

It is not an unfamiliar concept that engaging in two cognitively consuming tasks at once can cause us to be less attentive to one or both tasks. Most of us remember receiving distracted, one-word answers from our parents when we were growing up and asked them questions while they read, spoke on the phone, or performed some other simple task. This difficulty with multi-tasking becomes more important when one of the tasks requires our full attention, especially when inattentiveness can cause a devastating or even fatal car accident. This is exactly the problem we face when ...

Yet, even in such a symbiotic relationship, conflicts can arise. In recent years, some small business owners, franchise attorneys and commerce groups have voiced concern over franchise agreements that seem to be increasingly lopsided ...

Grades for New York Hospitals: Goal Is To Improve Patient Care Grades are a basic component of a culture that values performance. In school, students get report cards.

In the abstract, doctors and patients are committed to patient care. Far too often, however, putting on the white lab coats seemed to also entail taking a vow of secrecy. Fortunately, that is now beginning to change. This article will discuss how several ...

UPDATE: A Lifetime Behind Bars for Juvenile Offenders Dealt Huge Blow On June 25, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in the consolidated cases Jackson v. Hobbs and Miller v. Alabama. In a hotly contested 5-4 decision, the justices struck down mandatory life sentences without parole for juvenile offenses as a violation of the Eighth Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.
