What to do After
A Serious Injury
-
1
Seek medical attention immediately
Even if you feel okay. Adrenaline masks pain, and some injuries aren’t immediately obvious. Gaps in treatment are the first thing insurers use against you.
-
2
Do not give a recorded statement to any insurer
Adjusters are trained to get you to say things that reduce your claim. Say nothing without an attorney present.
-
3
Document everything you can
Photos of the scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Witness names and contact information. Every detail strengthens your case.
-
4
Call Haymond Law before accepting any settlement
Insurance companies move fast and low. We’ve recovered 10x the initial offer for clients who called us before settling. Once you sign, there’s no going back.
-
5
Act before the statute of limitations expires
Personal injury deadlines vary by state and can be as short as two years. Evidence disappears. Don’t wait.
