Documentation to Keep for Slip and Fall Accidents
01/12/2008
Many people are so caught up in their injury and the financial struggles resulting from the injury that they neglect to keep and organize valuable information and documentation relating to their slip and fall accident. This documentation is extremely important in gaining the helpful assistance of a New York City Personal Injury Lawyer. In fact, without this important evidence many New York Injury Attorneys will not take your case because they know that this information is vital to successful compensation of your injury.
1. All medical bills, including those paid by insurance.
2. Records from your employer for all days missed due to the injury, as well as off work slips issued by your doctor showing that the missed work was a result of the injury.
3. Copies of accident reports filed with police or doctors, as well as the accident reports filed internally with the business where you had the accident. This is the hardest to obtain, and you may need a lawyer to assist you.
If you have any problems gaining or organizing this documentation, you should contact your Queens NYC Injury Attorney immediately. They can help you get the information and documentation required if you cannot do so yourself for any reason. If any party does not comply with your request, Manhattan Personal Injury Attorneys may be able to gain additional compensation in your case.
