Columbus Ohio Wrongful Death Attorneys
What to Do Following Accidental 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.
