1. Steps to Take After an Injury
Get medical help – Even for minor injuries.
Report the incident – Police, employer, or property owner.
Document everything – Photos, witness info, scene details.
Don’t admit fault – Keep it factual.
Notify your insurer – But avoid giving recorded statements.
Keep records – Start a claim file with all bills and notes.
2. What Insurance Companies Won’t Tell You
They’re not your friend – Their goal is to save money.
Don’t give recorded statements – They can use it against you.
Expect delays and lowball offers – It’s a pressure tactic.
They may mislead on coverage – Get legal advice before agreeing.
Be cautious with medical releases – They might dig into unrelated records.
3. What to Document
Photos & videos – Injuries, damage, scene.
Medical records & bills – Track all treatments.
Lost wages – Pay stubs, employer notes.
Pain journal – Note symptoms and daily struggles.
Witness info & official reports – Police, incident, OSHA, etc.
All communications – Save texts, calls, and letters.
4. How to Calculate Claim Value
Economic damages – Medical bills, lost income, out-of-pocket costs.
Non-economic damages – Pain, suffering, emotional impact.
Use multipliers – Typically 1.5–5x your hard costs.
Account for future costs – Ongoing treatment or lost earning potential.
