If I have sustained a "serious injury" as the result of misconduct what steps should I take to protect my legal rights?
First, it is critical not to do anything that might adversely affect or prejudice your rights. No statements, written or recorded, should be given to adjusters or investigators. No signed authorizations permitting the insurance companies of the wrongdoers to have access to your medical providers or records should be provided.
Second, at the earliest possible time, consultation with an attorney experienced in "serious injury" claims should be sought. This consultation is usually free of charge and can be accomplished at your home, a hospital, or any other convenient location.
