If You Are In A Car Accident In Florida Take Plenty Of Photos

If you or someone you know is injured in a car accident, here are a few very important things to remember.

If your health allows, compile the following documentation:

Snap photos of your car's damage. Don't limit it to one or two shots. Take several pictures from every angle, making sure to snap close-ups and long distance shots. Get both landscape and upright photos. Get them with and without flash. Cover all bases.

Take pictures of the location of the accident, making sure to include stop signs and traffic lights, parking warnings, crosswalks, etc. Take photos of your own personal injuries, if possible. Also, gather recent photos of yourself before the injury for comparison.

Be sure to keep a journal about your injuries and medical attention required. Be precise about everything, including the daily extent of your pain. Whether your situation has worsened or improved. Be sure to jot down every detail. The most seemingly useless information can help your case.

Also be sure to file every form of correspondence with every involved medical person relating to your injury. This includes E-mails, bills, even phone records. Save ALL of your medical-related receipts. This also includes prescriptions, special equipment (crutches,wheelchairs,neck braces, walkers, canes), special foods, and co-payments. Keep track of travel expenses for medical appointments. Maintain precise documentation on how much income you've lost due to your injuries. The more information you have for your attorney, the better.

Do Not Accept An Insurance Check Before Contacting An Attorney

Most often, a car accident is a traumatic and painful ordeal. In an effort to collect money for medical bills, lost wages, and car repairs, people are all too willing to accept a hastily written check from a claims adjuster. A check can be enticing, but don't be eager to settle. The claims adjuster you'll be dealing with will want immediate resolution and knows that offering a check will finalize the process, without looking out for what's right for you.

The best thing you can do is hire an attorney to help you through this process. As your medical expenses pile up you will quickly see the wisdom in waiting and hiring an attorney. Many times people may not be aware of how injured they actually are and will begin experiencing residual pain from car accident injuries later on.
