Many people who are injured due to the carelessness of someone else know when they have grounds to sue, but they may not know how to begin. This confusion can have grave consequences for your case, especially if you miss important deadlines or fail to collect vital evidence. To guarantee you have the strongest case possible, Vincent Criscuolo & Associates in Rochester, NY, has some tips for filing a personal injury claim.

After your injury, the personal injury attorneys recommend:

• Taking Pictures: If you can, take photos of the scene, including the placement, other vehicles, and the conditions that led to your injuries. Sometimes, this isn't possible, so ask someone else to collect this crucial evidence for you.
• Seeking Medical Treatment: Taking care of your health should be your first priority, so see a doctor before you do anything else. Even if you don't think your injuries are severe, you should seek medical treatment. Some conditions only emerge hours or days later, so it's important to have documentation proving liability.
• Avoiding Admissions Of Liability: Many people apologize for an incident reflexively, especially if someone else is also hurt. However, you should avoid making any statements that could be considered admissions of liability. They can be legally admissible, possibly making it impossible to collect compensation, no matter how severe your injuries are.
• Hiring An Attorney: A good personal injury attorney is instrumental in navigating the complexities of the law and getting you the compensation for the damages that you deserve. In many cases, they'll be able to negotiate with the insurer to get you the maximum award possible and ensure your rights are fully respected.
