We know that this may be a difficult time for you, but it is also a critical time in which to protect your legal interests. It is common for insurance companies to send adjusters immediately to the accident scene to take photographs and gather data.
Adjusters often contact accident victims and ask for a recorded statement.
It is likewise, just as important that you preserve proof of your injuries, pain, suffering and damages, as well as any evidence of the negligence of the person who caused the accident. Make similar photographs that illustrate your injuries, both inside and outside the hospital. Obtain an accident report from the Highway Patrol. Secure statements from all witnesses to the accident. Save all your medical bills and records of payment.
