If you or a loved one ever suffer a head injury, or any other personal injury, make sure to take the following steps to protect the integrity of your personal injury case.

Obtain a Police Report

Call for emergency medical help. The safety of all involved parties is the most important mattered to address. Medical responders, as well as police officers, will report to the scene. The police will interview everyone involved including witnesses. They will then complete a police report detailing the accident including likely causes and will generally assign fault. Once the police report has been completed you will need to obtain a copy for your records. This will not only be used to file an insurance claim but it will be referenced by your Atlanta brain injury lawyer should your case go into settlement negotiations and/or trial.

Seek Medical Attention

If you did not receive emergency medical attention at the scene, see a doctor immediately. Your doctor will give you a complete exam and likely discover any injuries incurred from the accident. In some cases internal head injuries and other less obvious injures can be overlooked. Make sure to return to the doctor if you later show signs of head or brain trauma including: nausea, language or speech problems, memory loss, or any other cognitive problems. Your doctor will provide you with a medical report which will also play a role in your insurance claim and/or lawsuit.

Contact a Personal Injury Attorney

Once you have a police and medical report you will need to contact a personal injury attorney with experience representing head injury victims. Together you and your attorney will review the details of your case and the extent of your injuries to determine what your case is worth. You will then turn all communication with the insurance company over to your attorney, allowing them to represent you.
