When dealing with any personal injury case, it is extremely important that your attorney take the following immediate steps to preserve evidence:
- Take photos of injuries, property damage and the accident scene
- Obtain statements from eye witnesses
- Investigate the accident scene in question
- File the required Notice of Tort claim within the ninety-day deadline, putting a Public Entity or Notice of a Pending Claim
File a lawsuit prior to the Statute of Limitation expiration date. Remember, that although you may have a valid claim today and may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, if you fail to file a lawsuit within the allowable period of time you may be not be able to recover damages (money).
Investigation, detail and preparation are the keys to successfully pursuing a claim to its best possible resolution.
