First Steps - Action to take immediately after an accident or injury.
Two critical issues in any legal claim after an accident or injury are:
What exactly happened during the incident that gave rise to the claim?
What kind of harm resulted?
These issues will arise at many stages of a personal injury case, and more complex cases can last a year or more, so having a clear record to refer back to can contribute toward the success of your claim. One of the best ways to make sure that you preserve every important detail of your accident or injury is to take notes as soon as possible after the incident, including what happened and the effects of your injuries on your daily life.
