What Ways to Preserve Your Legal Rights After a
Personal Injury Accident?
5 Steps to Take After an Accident
2
Step 1 Obtain a Police Report
Next to medical records, a police report will be
the most important piece of evidence for an
accident victim. If you are involved in a car
accident, the police report will include details
of how the accident occurred, witness
testimonies, and, most importantly, an opinion of
who was at fault.

Step 2 Document Evidence
Many personal injury cases rely on what the
victim says happened, especially slip and fall
and work-related injuries. Because of this, it is
imperative you document all evidence in both
pictures and writing. Take photos of any damages.
Keep copies of all paperwork, including car
repair receipts, letters from insurance carriers,
or anything else related to the injury.

Step 3 Seek Medical Attention Obtain Medical
Records
A detailed medical record will go a long way in
proving damages. It is crucial a victims medical
records begin immediately after the accident. The
longer you wait to receive care, the more likely
a claims adjuster or judge will be to question
the validity of your claim. The federal Health
Information Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) gives you the right to obtain a copy of
your medical records from any medical provider.

Step 4 Take Injury Notes
A plaintiff should always document how they feel
each day following the accident, as well as make
a note of any appointments, therapy sessions, and
missed work. Doing so provides insight into their
state of mind following the accident, and will be
valuable evidence if the case goes before a judge
and jury.
