If you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence or intentional act, there are certain steps you must take in order to protect your right to claim damages.
If you have been involved in a car, bicycle or motorcycle accident, you should call the police and obtain a police report. If there are any witnesses at the scene, you should obtain those witnesses' names, addresses and telephone numbers. Independent witnesses are vital to your case when the other party's liability for your injuries is not clear.
You must seek medical treatment for your injuries as soon as possible.
It is very important to obtain pictures of the damaged vehicles involved in an accident, the unsafe condition in a premises liability case, and your visible injuries in all types of cases.
