Filled under Auto Accidents, Bicycle Accidents, Compensation, Damages, Drunk Driving Injuries, Insurance Companies, Our Firm on January 19, 2012 - no comments .One of the best ways to assist your Salt Lake City Accident Attorney in building a personal injury case is to start keeping notes in the form of a diary of how the injuries have affected your life. We refer to it as a personal injury diary. You may want to chronicle your normal days, from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed at night, and explain how the incident has changed your life. For example, record any impact on the way you put on your clothes, the way you get in and out of bed, the way you take a bath, the way you prepare your food, etc. When we speak of a change in your life, we mean not only your working life, but your leisure time, your hobbies, your life as a husband/wife or parent including your disposition, your personality, your moods and or your nervousness. It is also helpful to know how it has affected your relations between you and your spouse and or you and your children.
Include a description of your pain, both at the time of the incident and at all times thereafter on a daily basis. For example, describe if the pain you are suffering is a throbbing pain, a shooting pain, a persistent pain, etc. Write down how you feel in your own words.
You and only you know your life better than anyone else. Feel free to go into all aspect of your life and explain in the diary, in the greatest detail possible, how the occurrence has affected your life on a day-to-day basis.
Record what services you have been prevented from performing around the house, for example supervision of the children, and any other services performed by your spouse. Diary the effect this has had on your spouse and your children.
However, remember what you write may be used against you by the insurance company and their attorneys. Thus, if you have questions you should consult an experienced accident and injury attorney.
If you have any questions in regards to keeping a personal injury diary or your injury case feel free to contact the James Esparza Law Firm for a confidential no obligation consultation.
