Steps To Take After A Personal Injury Accident

  • Being involved in an accident can be overwhelming, but taking the right steps immediately can help protect your legal rights, strengthen your personal injury claim, and make dealing with the aftermath easier. Here’s what you need to do:

    Seek Medical Attention

    Prioritize your health and seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel the injuries are minor. Some injuries may not show symptoms immediately but can have a devastating impact later. Also, having medical documentation is essential to strengthen your claim.

    Report The Accident

    Contact the appropriate authorities to report the incident, such as the police for an auto accident or your employer for a workplace injury. Filing an official report creates a record of the incident, which can be valuable for your case.

    Gather Evidence

    If possible and safe to do so, collect as much information as you can at the scene. Take photos of the scene of the accident, your injuries, and any property damage. Collect the at-fault party’s contact and insurance information. If there are witnesses, collect their contact details as well.

    Avoid Admitting Fault

    Refrain from making any statements that could be interpreted as admitting fault. Insurance companies and opposing parties may use your words against you, so stick to the facts when describing the incident.

Consulting an experienced Warwick personal injury attorney can help you evaluate the specifics of your case and determine if you have a case.

    How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Warwick, RI?

    In Rhode Island, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years.

It’s important to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure critical evidence is preserved, and your case is filed on time.

    How long will it take to resolve my personal injury case?

    Resolution times will vary depending on the complexity of your case and whether you settle it at the negotiation phase or proceed to trial.

They have always worked very hard on my case to get the most out of it. They have been very friendly and courteous and have always explained documents with details to help me understand my case. I have always used them for advice in other cases or personal problems and they have always responded to my questions or have advised me what can be done. I feel I have gained a friend besides an attorney. They have always watched for my well-being. If you need legal help, this is the firm you need to reach out to.
