What You Can Do Next
- Seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Not only is the appropriate medical treatment important in your recovery, your doctor’s evaluation and the diagnosis of your condition are crucial to your personal injury claim.
- Take pictures of your injuries immediately, before they begin to heal. If you are hospitalized, have someone take pictures of the hospital environment. Send all pictures to an email address for safe storage.

- The damage to the vehicles after a crash
- A neighbor’s fence that the dog escaped from
