What to Do When Bad Things Happen

It is frustrating and frightening when bad things like injuries happen.

Knowing what to do will take away some of the fear and anxiety.

First of all document everything.

Take pictures of your vehicle and injuries if possible.

Make an accident report with the police and your employer. Keep copies of all reports.

Tell the doctor how your accident happened and what body parts were injured.

Keep track of all medical bills, tests results, and off work slips.

At every medical visit tell your doctor what problems you continue to have and how you are currently limited.

Make sure to talk with a work injury attorney or injury lawyer to protect your rights.

It does not cost anything to speak with an injury lawyer. These lawyers are only paid if they win money for you.
