Have you recently experienced an auto accident?  If you or a loved one is suffering from a personal injury due to a car accident, proper documentation can help make the claims process simple and ensure that you receive the settlement you are entitled to.  Here are a few tips on how to help document your personal injury for an auto accident claim.

Documenting Tips:

• Photographs – Take a picture of any damage to your vehicle.  Several close-up and long distance shots can make the claims process simple.  You can also take pictures of the location and any injuries.
• Medical Records – Take note of any pain you are experiencing.  If you are visiting the doctor, keep records of all of your visits.  Keep all correspondence, including emails.
• Save Receipts – Keep receipts for all of your medical expenses, including prescriptions, crutches, walkers, canes, foods, and co-payments.
• Expenses – Maintain records of all of your travel expenses for medical appointments, as well as how much income you have lost due to your injuries.

Not Every Slip & Fall Accident in a Supermarket or on a Playground Entitles a Claim... Does Yours?

The owner or manager of a property is responsible for maintaining it in a reasonably safe manner. People who enter a property are responsible for using reasonable caution. Not every slip and fall accident in a super market or broken arm on a school playground entitles an injured person to bring a claim against a property owner.

When an injury occurs in a public building, a pool or playground, or even at a private residence, a judge will look for evidence that the owner knew or should have known about the potential danger. For example:

• Was that spill left in the store aisle for 15 minutes? Was it a repeated problem?

• Had parents previously complained about unsafe playground equipment?

• Was the owner sited by safety inspectors for a missing handrail?

• Were the safety harnesses missing for construction workers working at elevations?

• Did the homeowner have a history of not shoveling the  sidewalk?

It’s the job of a personal injury attorney in premises liability cases to gather the kind of evidence needed to prove your injury claim. At the Law Offices of Louis D. Stober, Jr., LLC, we’ve been helping injured people get financial compensation for more than 20 years.
