Keep detailed records.
Keep all your written records of everything you do following your accident. Keep your records as complete and detailed as possible, too. That means records of medical bills incurred, doctor appointments, prescription costs, lost wages and anything else pertaining to the case. Also, if you’re able, take photos of the accident immediately after it happened.
The more information you have about your injuries and any bills incurred, the better it is going to be for your case. If you have this ahead of time and can provide it to us without having to spend a lot of time looking for it, that’s going to help everything go faster, and it’ll also help us present your case with optimal effectiveness.

Follow your doctor’s orders.
If your doctor orders you to go to physical therapy, you need to make sure that you go to each and every appointment. Not going to an appointment will make it look like you don’t care about your recovery process, or worse, will undercut the seriousness of your injuries when presented to the other party. By doing what your doctor tells you to, it shows the insurance company that you are dedicated to your recovery. And, of course, most importantly, it hopefully will give you the best chance to fully recover from your injuries.

Be honest with everyone.
Regardless of whether the injuries you sustained were minor or severe, you need to be upfront and honest about what happened in the accident. Don’t try to embellish on your injuries. Be honest about the injuries sustained in the accident. If an injury happened before the accident, don’t try to claim it was caused by the accident. This will only come back to haunt you later on down the road.
Take care of yourself while the attorneys do their job.
Above all else, you need to focus on your recovery. Let the attorneys handle the specifics of your personal injury case while you focus on getting better and getting back to doing all of the things you normally would. Your recovery is important.
