Immediate Steps to Take
January 8th, 2009 by admin
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.
