It is smart to take notes about the accident and details of your case. This includes details of your injuries. As time passes, your memory will fade, and you may forget important details. If you have notes, you have reference points to help you tell your attorney the full scope of the accident and how it has impacted your life. You should also keep a pain journal so you can continue updating it and help the court fully understand the impact the accident and injuries have had on your life.
