The emotional, physical, and financial trauma of a serious injury can leave you feeling confused, frightened, alone, and frustrated. As a victim of someone else’s negligence, you’re probably thinking, “Why did this happen?”, “How am I going to pay for those medical bills that just keep piling up?”, “How am I going to put food on the table to feed my family?”, and “Why should my family have to pay for the negligence of someone else?” These fears, and your concerns about the hardships you now face, are completely understandable – and extremely personal.

A prescribed burn jumped its unmanned control burn lines as a consequence of forecasted high winds pushing down slope into a residential area where it destroyed 23 homes and 17 outbuildings before it could be contained. The jury found defendants to be grossly negligent for their misconduct. The impact of this wildland fire was catastrophic upon the nearby residents. The $25 Million Dollars in damages compensated the victims for the burned down homes, damages to vegetation and timber, outbuildings, grazing lands, barns, machinery, stacked hay, cow/calf operations, and most notably, many residents escaped with nothing but their night clothes and watched as 50-60 years of lifetime memories were turned to ash.
The steps you take after a serious injury are critical to your wellbeing and the success of your personal injury claim. If someone else’s negligence cause you harm, here’s what you need to do.
Obtaining medical care is vital after an accident. Even if you think your injuries are minor, you should get evaluated by a medical professional as soon as possible to rule out spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or soft tissue or organ damage. In addition to helping ensure you receive the treatment you need, your personal injury lawyer can use your medical records to help support your claim.
If you are able, you should take pictures or videos of the accident scene. Be sure to include any evidence that might be useful in proving how your accident happened. This might include pictures of skid marks and vehicle damage after a car accident, a broken handrail after a slip and fall, or maybe a product defect. If witnesses saw your accident, you should obtain their names and contact information as well.
Documenting your accident is crucial. If you were injured in a car accident or other motor vehicle crash, make sure to call the police and have them file a report. If your injuries were caused by dangerous property conditions, get in touch with the property owner, manager, or operator right away. Most businesses have incident reports that can be filled out and later used as evidence if your case goes to court.
Don’t be surprised if the insurance company contacts you to inquire about your accident. They may even make a settlement offer right away. Before you give the insurance company details about what happened or the severity of your injuries, call our office for a free consultation. Reno personal injury attorney Stephen Osborne will make sure the insurance company plays fair, and you receive maximum compensation for your losses.
