What to Do If You Have Been Injured by Someone Else’s Negligence

When other people, companies, manufacturers, and entities act carelessly, recklessly, or wrongfully, innocent people can be seriously hurt. If this has happened to you, it’s important that you know you have certain legal protections. Among these is the right to seek financial compensation for your damages, or the losses you have suffered as a result of your injury.

There are several things you should do if you have been injured due to someone else’s negligent or wrongful conduct, both to protect yourself and your future personal injury claim.

Seek Medical Attention for Your Injuries

If you haven’t already done so, seek immediate medical attention. In many cases, the shock of an accident or traumatic event can mask injury symptoms; you may feel like you are not injured or that your injuries will heal on their own. However, you could be more seriously injured than you realize.

Common injuries resulting from accidents and other traumatic incidents include:

Head and brain injuries
Broken bones
Sprains and strains
Spinal cord injuries
Paralysis
Cuts, scrapes, and lacerations
Facial injuries
Internal injuries
Soft tissue damage

It’s always best to see a doctor or another medical professional after an accident or traumatic event, even if you don’t have health insurance. By filing a personal injury claim, you can seek compensation for medical expenses, such as emergency room treatment, hospital fees, copays, medications, and more. You may also be entitled to compensation for future care costs and specialty treatments, such as rehabilitation, physical therapy, and mental health care associated with your injuries.

Report the Incident

Once you have sought the appropriate medical treatment, it’s important that you report the incident to the proper authorities. Depending on the situation, this may include calling 911 or contacting the local police department. You may also need to notify your insurance provider or inform the owner of the property where the incident occurred about what happened.

Remember, the more documentation you have, the better. Always ask for copies of incident reports, including car accident and police reports. If you can, talk to witnesses who saw what happened and keep a copy of their statement(s). This can go a long way in proving your future personal injury case.

Document Your Damages

When it comes to documenting evidence after a serious accident or injury, it’s important that you keep track of your damages.

Your damages may include a variety of economic and non-economic losses, including but not limited to:

Medical bills and other healthcare-related expenses
Projected future care costs, based on your injury or disability
Lost income, wages, and employment benefits
Loss of earning ability due to temporary or permanent disability
Physical and mental pain and suffering
Emotional distress and trauma
Miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses related to your injury

Our Greenville personal injury attorneys work with accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals, and expert witnesses who help provide compelling testimony and evidentiary support for our clients.

"20 out of 10 stars."

There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it’s interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don’t have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

"Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"

I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

"So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"

Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
