Injury Tips

Whether it is a work injury, dog bite, or car crash there are several things you can do to increase the value of your case.

Make sure that you make a incident report or injury report right away and provide it to your employer or the authorities. Make sure that you get a copy of it for your records.

Make sure that you go to the doctor or hospital as soon as possible.

Give a complete and accurate description of your accident and all the body parts injured.

Show up for all your doctor and therapy appointments and comply with all the doctor’s orders.

Make sure that you tell the doctor about all your continuing pain, swelling, limited range of motion, or numbness and tingling.

Ask your doctor to provide any permanent restrictions or limitations at the end of your treatment.
