To bring a successful claim for an injury that occurred at a business or on personal property, it is important to document the condition and / or the details surrounding the incident that caused the injury, either at the time of the accident or soon thereafter.
- Photographs of the Property and Location Where the Injury Occurred
- A Timeline of Events Leading Up to and After the Incident
- A List of Witnesses and Contact Information
It is also important to document injuries. Luckily, bruises and lacerations heal with time, so having photographic evidence of the injuries when they first happened helps preserve the significance of the injury. Additionally, be sure to hold on to medical records and bills, and document communication with insurance companies and the property owner.
