Columbus Ohio Wrongful Death Attorneys
What to Do Following Accidental or Wrongful Death
- Obtain names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
- Photograph the scene where the injury occurred and any visible injuries. Professional photographs are generally preferable, but not essential.
- Talk to no one about the incident or injuries other than the victim's personal physician or lawyer.
- Consult an Ohio wrongful death / catastrophic injury lawyer before answering questions from insurance company representatives or any other party.
- Tell your physician or surgeon exactly how the injury occurred, and describe all symptoms and complaints. Be sure to report memory problems, confusion or disorientation, however minor these things may seem at the time.
- Begin keeping a diary of how the injury or death affects your life and your family. In particular, write down all medical related visits and everything that causes physical pain, frustration or worry.
- Obtain and keep receipts for all expenses relating to the incident.
