Columbus Ohio Personal Injury Tort Attorneys
What to Do Following an Intentional Tort Injury
- Obtain names, addresses and telephone numbers
of all witnesses.
- Photograph the scene where the injury occurred
and any visible injuries (cuts, bruises). 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 a lawyer before answering questions
from insurance company or the other party's representatives.
- 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.
