Personal Injury Victims

Let’s face it - A car wreck can be a very scary and unnerving experience. It is critical that personal injury victims take the proper steps following a motor vehicle accident to gather and preserve evidence to enable them to obtain the maximum compensation they deserve. The following is a checklist for Arkansas personal injury victims:
The Accident Scene:
• Call the police
• Exchange information with the other driver, such as: name, address, telephone number, driver's license number, tag number, and insurance information.
• Gather the names and contact information for any witnesses
• If possible photograph the vehicles and scene of the accident
Following the Accident:
• If injured, seek immediate medical attention
• Notify your insurance carrier
• Photograph your vehicle
• Photograph any injuries
• Keep a log of your medical treatment to help document your daily recovery and pain and suffering
• Keep a log of all out of pocket expenses such as co-pays, prescriptions, and lost wages
