A bodily injury claim is a request for compensation related to physical injuries suffered in an accident.
Bodily injury claims typically cover lost wages and medical expenses. In most cases, they’re paid by the at-fault driver’s insurance company or your insurance company.
To obtain compensation for a bodily injury claim, you must do the following:
Receive immediate medical attention.
Keep your medical records.
Follow the treatment schedule outlined by your doctor.
Take photos of the accident scene and your injuries.
Collect other accident evidence like witness statements or video footage.
Consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
