Gathering the Required Data for Your Personal Injury Case
by Blur Lorena
You must be prepared before speaking with any of the insurance
company’s representatives. Collect all important documents
and evidences, including the photographs, police and medical
reports, and statements of your witnesses. Take notes of important
details and review the policies given by the company. Do not
say anything that will cause your claim to be denied. Examine
every photograph; they might see an angle that may be turned
against you.
Return to the scene or the place where the accident happened.
You might find more evidence. Photograph anything that will
help you win your case. Capture every angle. This will not
only provide you evidence, it will also help you remember
events or things. Look for physical evidence that will prove
the extent of injury or will oppose the description of the
event, like a piece of wood or nails. Do not move the object
so as to preserve it. If it cannot be preserved, take pictures
of it.
In taking a photograph, use a camera that will provide you
detailed and accurate photos. Take photos immediately. Ask
somebody to stand as a witness and instruct him to take note.
Take several pictures so that you can have the best photos
to show the insurance company as a proof of your claim. Have
it printed as soon as possible. Ask for a receipt; make sure
that it has a date on it.
If you are injured, go to the doctor or other medical provider
immediately. A delay will cause for the company to question
your injuries. Ask your doctor to photograph any marks or
bruise, these wounds will heal soon. Have a copy of your medical
report. Detail your injuries and how it affected your everyday
living. Take note of things you might remember that you have
not thought of before. All these notes will serve as evidences
you can include in your demand for settlements. In taking
notes, do not forget to include the date and time and the
name of the persons who provided you with information.
Look for witnesses, record their statement. List their names
and other personal information. You might find reliable witnesses
that will back you up. Ask for their numbers so you can contact
them anytime. They might be able to tell the exact story.
You might also get significant information that you failed
to record.
Let the insurance company know that you are prepared. Review
all these evidences as well as the company policy.

to find the difference between similar things. It’s
like counting birthmarks on each identical twin.
