Personal Injury Claims Process
When you experience a personal injury due to the negligence of another party, it’s essential to prioritize your health and seek immediate medical attention. This will also create medical records, which you can use as evidence when it’s time to file a claim or lawsuit.
In Waukesha County, you must contact law enforcement at the scene of an accident if it resulted in injuries, property damage worth more than $1,000, or death. The police will investigate once they arrive at the scene, and the police report they create will be crucial in your personal injury claim later. If witnesses are present, write down their contact information so they can give testimony in your case.
Take pictures of your injuries, property damage, or conditions that led to the accident and notify your insurance company. Document all your medical interventions, keep receipts, and contact a personal injury lawyer focused on the type of claim you wish to pursue.
A personal injury attorney can handle wrongful death cases, medical malpractice claims, car accident lawsuits, and many other cases.
