If you have been involved in an accident and are considering filing an injury suit, you want to take steps to protect your rights and better your chance of a successful outcome. 

These steps include: 

• Getting medical attention right away. It is essential for your health and the viability of your case. A doctor’s examination of your injuries can be foundational evidence. 
• Keeping a record of your injuries, expenses, and other pertinent information. After the accident, take photos or videos of the scene. Do the same for your injuries and document how they affect your life in the following weeks, months, or even years. If you were hurt at work or on the premises of a business, request to fill out and submit a formal report of the incident. Keep receipts for all expenses you incur because of your injuries. 
• Do not immediately accept an insurance company’s cash settlement offer. Insurance companies aim to pay as little money as possible for accident claims. A provider’s offer may not reflect the money you need to recover and move forward. 
• Retaining a trusted attorney. They can guide you through complex legal processes, provide valuable insights and advice, and negotiate on your behalf. It is possible to go it alone, but without the know-how and experience of a personal injury attorney, you may be at a disadvantage.
