In the Meantime
Prior to meeting with a personal injury lawyer from Jon Ostroff Injury Law, you can do a few things to help your potential Pennsylvania accident claim.
First, save all documents relating to the accident and your injuries. These items may include:
- the accident report
- photos of the accident scene and your car
- names and contact information of witnesses
- copies of your medical records for accident-related injuries
- photos of the injuries
- medical bills
- receipts from prescriptions, car repairs, and other related expenses
Next, be sure to follow your doctor's advice about treatment and go to every scheduled doctor's office visit. This will allow your medical caregivers to document your injuries and the time it takes for you to heal, providing proof you've suffered because of the negligent driver's actions.
Insurance Adjustors 101
To further help your case and look out for your legal rights, practice the following if an insurance adjustor contacts you.
- You don't have to give a statement to the adjustor. If you do without first talking to your personal injury lawyer, be cautious and don't understate your injuries or pain, as doing so can hurt your claim.
- Don't sign a release. By doing this you could sign away your rights, hurting your claim and possibly reducing compensation for your injuries.
It's best that if you are contacted by an insurance adjustor, you let him or her know that you first need to speak with your lawyer and then contact the offices of Jon Ostroff Injury Law. Someone from our firm will be ready to talk with you and discuss your Pennsylvania pedestrian accident.
