Here are the 7 stages of a Personal Injury Claim:

1. Do I have a Personal Injury Case?

If someone acted negligently and the negligent actions caused you injury, you likely have a personal injury case with a claim for damages.

• Someone acted negligently or wrongfully. What does this mean? This could be anything from speeding, to failing to put up a “Caution” sign when floors are wet, to running a red light, to a medical mistake. To make sure, call our St Louis Personal Injury Lawyers for a free evaluation: 314.962.5100.

• Your damages were caused by this negligent or wrongful act. In order to receive compensation, you must prove that any damages you incurred were caused by the negligent act of another individual or entity, like medical bills, property damage costs, and other losses such as pain and suffering and wage losses.

The Next Steps to Take to Help Your Claim:

2. Go to a doctor immediately.

Do not delay seeking medical attention. Even if you do not feel any pain initially, it is best to seek medical attention for any injuries that you may not feel at the time due to adrenaline or shock.

3. Follow your doctor’s advice.

Show up at all of your doctor appointments and follow what your doctor tells you. If you miss appointments, you may be telling the other party that your pain is not affecting you or is not as severe as you say it is. These medical records can help your case.

4. Collect information.

Collect as much information as you can for your case. Talk to witnesses, get police reports, collect any insurance information available and take photographs of the scene. Take any notes that you think may help support your case.

5. Keep detailed records after your injury.

The best way to keep track of all of the damages you have suffered is to keep a detailed record in a specific binder or folder. This will help to make sure you do not forget any major information that may help your case. Keeping any paper records or receipts can help as well.

6. Keep track of the following:

• Doctor visits
• Property damage
• Missed time at work
• Medical bills / future medical bills / prescription costs
• Any life changes due to your accident (physical limitations, not being able to work, activities you are unable to participate in)
• Emotional damages (changes in your relationships with friends or family, how you feel about yourself)
