If you are injured, you should immediately take care of your medical needs. Get to a doctor for an examination. It is very important that you follow the doctor's orders, and make sure you attend all appointments, for both the benefit of your health, and any later legal defense.
If you can, immediately take detailed notes of the injury particulars, while fresh in your mind. Take pictures, and get names and contact information of witnesses. Keep a detailed a diary of any activity related to your injury -- from work related issues to doctor's visits - and keep all receipts related to your injury.
While you are stabilizing, do not answer questions from, or talk to insurance adjusters, WCB representatives, other lawyers, witnesses, or investigators without a lawyer; you may unknowingly disentitle yourself from benefits.
You or someone who represents you should contact a personal injury lawyer at the earliest possible date, to ensure you retain your legal and compensation rights. Remember, your initial visit to Roger Watts is free, and without obligation. You should also know that he works on a contingency basis, which means that you do not pay anything to him until a settlement has been made in your case. Your rights and your health are well worth a phone call and visit at the earliest possible date!
