One very important step you can take is to seek medical care for your injuries right away, and continue getting care until your doctors say you’re better. If you have long periods between medical treatment, insurance adjusters and defense attorneys will use against you.

Do the things that your doctors tells you. If you’re taking medications, receiving physical or occupational therapy or have been given certain things to do on your own at home, such as stretching, be sure to follow your regimen closely. Not only will it give your Denver auto accident attorney proof of the extent of your injuries, but it will show that you’re taking responsibility for your recovery.

Take photos of your bruises, cuts and scrapes over time as you work on getting better. Often, photos are the difference between having someone say you only had a few bruises and being able to prove to an insurance company or a jury that you suffered an injury from a seatbelt or airbag or from hitting your head against the window.

Keep track of what you spend on your care and recovery. All those expenses add up and you’re entitled to reimbursement for all your expenses.

And last, keep a list of how the accident has affected your ability to live your usual life. Think about the activities you do inside your home – prepare meals, eat, sleep, bathe and so on. Then think about the things you do outside your home – drive, work, ride your bike.
