Have Someone Take Pictures of the Situation

Talk to a friend and have them take as many pictures as possible of the situation. If you are lying on the ground have been take pictures of people who are trying to help you and have them take pictures of your injuries. Asked them to document all of the possible negligent parties so that you can present this information to your personal injury lawyer so that they can put together a case that gets you the most compensation possible.

Don’t Talk to Possible Negligent Parties
