In the hours and days after an incident, the goal is simple: protect evidence and protect your future claim.
Consider focusing on:
- Get the medical record you’ll need later. Ask that diagnoses, imaging, and neurological findings are clearly documented.
- Write down what you remember while it’s fresh (even brief notes help). Include where you were, what traffic conditions were like, and what you observed.
- Preserve incident details you can access: photos of the scene, any vehicle/property damage you can document, and contact info for witnesses.
- Be careful with insurance statements. Early comments can be misunderstood, and insurers may try to narrow the story.
An AI-supported intake process can help organize your information into a timeline and checklist, but your attorney still decides what matters legally—what to request, what to challenge, and what to emphasize.
