DOCUMENT EVERYTHING
Your attorney needs your help to fully prove your case. To prove your case, you need evidence. So keep all paperwork and receipts that are in any way related to your injury. Also, take photos, record witness contact information and get documentation from your employer showing loss of income and/or disability status. You will also need documented proof, including wage statements, showing what you earned before you were injured. All of this documentation will prove very useful to both you and your attorney.
DO NOT SPEAK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY
In most instances, the insurance company is simply trying to settle for the least amount of money possible. Insurance companies typically have many experienced lawyers on their payroll that will be working hard to get you to settle or to disprove your claim. In light of the many fraudulent claims made against insurance companies, they are often hyper vigilant in denying claims or settling claims for meager amounts of money. Allow an experienced attorney to speak to the insurance company on your behalf.
BE ABLE TO PROVE YOUR PAIN & SUFFERING
Since pain and suffering is not something that someone else can touch, see or feel directly, it can be difficult to prove. Even though it may be difficult to document, it is an important aspect of your personal injury claim. The best way to prove pain and suffering is to be detailed, specific and proactive. Don’t ignore pain or assume it will go away any time soon. Keep a journal outlining your daily pains and level of pain. Also, log dates and instances of specific activities you can no longer engage in because of your pain. Be specific when documenting your pain, including where the pain is, how intense the pain is and why and how it is impacting your activities and daily quality of life.
