Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine, always see a doctor. TBIs are often invisible and symptoms can emerge over time. Proper medical documentation is essential for both health and legal reasons.

Document Everything

• Keep records of doctor visits, prescriptions, and treatment plans

• Take photos of injuries and the scene of the incident (if applicable)

• Write down how the injury is affecting your daily life

Don’t Speak with Insurance Companies Alone

Adjusters may contact you quickly and try to downplay your injuries or pressure you into a low settlement. Politely decline and refer them to your attorney.

Contact a Personal Injury Attorney

An experienced lawyer can help you navigate the legal process, gather evidence, deal with insurers, and fight for fair compensation — so you can focus on healing.
