If you or someone you love is painfully injured or wrongfully killed through no fault of their own, the first thing you should do after seeking immediate medical treatment and care is to take the following steps:

  • Preserve The Evidence
    • get a written work excuse from your doctor
    • get a copy of the death certificate
    • request an autopsy by an independent party
    • take quality photographs of the damaged property and of your injuries
    • if you have possession of the dangerous product or damaged property, safeguard it for future inspection and testing
    • videotape the scene of the incident or the product in question
    • gather your medical records and bills
    • gather your paycheck stubs, W-2’s, and tax returns
    • collect the accident report and witness statements
  • Call a Trial Lawyer Specializing In Injury & Death Cases
    Free legal advice is customarily given in such situations and no hourly fee is typically charged. You normally don’t have to pay a legal fee at all unless the lawyer recovers money for you. You need legal advice at the beginning of your case to make critical decisions and to protect your legal interests. Do not speak to the insurance company, do not sign anything they ask you to sign, and do not give them a recorded statement, until you get legal advice. Your future will be affected by the decisions you make at the beginning of your case.

Choose wisely, choose well, and choose a lawyer you Trust.
