The Essential
Personal Injury Claim Checklist
Wondering how to begin your personal injury case?
We can help.
Focus on This List To Support Your Chances for Full and Fair Compensation.
Document Everything About the Accident
Take pictures of injuries and damage. Write down all the details you remember.
File a Police Report and Make Sure the Details Are Accurate
The insurance companies and courts rely on this document during a claim or trial.
Go to the Doctor Immediately and Often
Get medical treatment ASAP. Do not skip appointments, and make sure to follow all instructions from your doctor.
Show Medical Bills and Lost Income
These specific financial costs are a major part of your compensation. Keep records of every penny.
Take Note of Daily Pain and Suffering
Write down activities you struggle with, your level of pain, and any feelings of stress.
Limit Discussions About the Case
From talking to the insurance companies to posting online, your words can be used against you.
Negotiate a Fair Settlement
The insurance company’s first offer is almost always too low. Your lawyer can help negotiate.
Fully Heal Before Settling
Settling quickly means you risk not getting the compensation you might need in the future.
Know the Statute of Limitations
In Georgia, you have two years to file an insurance claim or lawsuit.
In South Carolina, you have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit.

An experienced attorney like Harry Brown increases your chances for fair compensation without any out-of-pocket cost to you.
