Here are some steps to follow in the event of personal injury:
Seek immediate medical attention – In most cases, symptoms do not show up immediately. Get evaluated by a doctor and keep records of all your medical diagnoses and treatments.
Determine if there are witnesses – Ask them to stay until help arrives and write down their names and contact details if you can. Fill out an incident report, if possible.
Document Expenses – These can include lost wages, medical bills, co-pay fees, prescription fees, and any other related costs. It is important to have verifiable proof when seeking damages.
Keep meticulous evidence of injuries – From paperwork, conversations, photos and videos to every person you speak with to your insurance company, be as specific as possible on documenting names, titles, times, dates , advice, etc.
Don’t Carelessly Share Information – Don’t discuss your case with any insurance company other than your own. Do not sign any agreement to settle a claim.
Beware of Fraudsters – Unfortunately, there are people who scour public records, including police reports, as an opportunistic way to take advantage of people when they are most vulnerable. Beware of unsolicited people or companies who may try to contact you by phone, mail or in person.

Slip and fall accidents
It is the responsibility of the business or owner to provide a safe environment for people on its premises. An experienced slip and fall accident attorney will know how to prove whether the property owner would have reasonably foreseen that an accident might have occurred and subsequently avoided it.
Animal bites and attacks
If you are attacked by a dog or any other type of animal, be sure to seek immediate medical attention as you can quickly develop an infection. Report the attack to local animal control authorities. Bites aren’t the only injuries that can be successfully sued. If a dog knocks you down, resulting in an injury, the dog’s owner is responsible for those actions. The Herman Legal Group team is highly experienced in Ohio and Michigan pet liability cases.
Work accident
If you were injured on the job or on a construction site, you should be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. If your request is refused, you must contact a lawyer who specializes in work-related bodily injury. The Herman Legal Group team is fighting hard for your medical bills, lost wages and more.
