What Should I Do if I Suffer a Serious Injury in Colorado?

If you've been injured in any type of accident, here are the steps you should take:

• Seek medical attention. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you're not sure you've been injured or your injuries appear to be minor. Some serious injuries, including life-threatening head injuries, may not immediately exhibit any symptoms. Additionally, it is important to document your injuries.
• Report the incident. Depending on the situation, you may need to report the injury. If you suffer a slip and fall in a store, for example, report the accident to the manager. Get a copy of the incident report. In a car accident, do not speak to any insurance companies, even your own! Contact our office immediately so we can protect your rights.
• Gather evidence. If you can, take pictures of the accident scene, any injuries, and any property or items involved in the accident. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses. As soon as you can, write down everything you remember, and keep any receipts or paperwork related to your injuries.
• Contact a Colorado personal injury attorney. Flaxman Law Group has over 60 years of personal injury experience. Please contact us immediately and we will explain the entire process and be available to you 24/7.
