What to Know When Filing a Personal Injury Claim | Hosmer, King & Royce LLC

After a slip and fall, or being rear- ended on a busy road, the most important thing to do is that you take care of your overall health. However, when you start to improve, it might be time to file a personal injury claim.

Injury can put you through a large amount of emotional distress and physical pain. However, getting a settlement from the responsible party can make moving on a little smoother. Here are some things to know if you’re thinking about filing a claim.

Gather Evidence

Any information you gather initially after your accident will be beneficial when filing for your personal injury. This could be pictures of the accident, injuries, or proof of financial loss. It could also include names, contact information, and conversations with witnesses that could help you prove your case.

Know your Time Frame

Every personal injury case is different, meaning you have to be familiar with the statute of limitations. This is crucial, because if you wait too long, you may not be able to file a personal injury claim.

Ask yourself, did you sustain injuries that were causes by negligence? Has this accident caused financial strain? If you answered yes, you will need to act fast.
