Michigan Car Accidents

Preparing for Court

If you, or a loved one, have recently been involved in a car accident you are likely looking for legal advice. At the law offices of Erlich, Rosen, Bartnick & Cook, P.C., we aggressively represent car accident victims to ensure that they are compensated for their medical costs and, in many cases, their pain and suffering. If you believe you may have a car accident case, be sure to gather the following documents:

Photographs

You will want to take pictures of the scene of the accident from all angles, both near and far from the car accident. This will provide a detailed record of the position of each vehicle giving your attorney the information he or she will need to prove not only fault but the severity of the crash. If anyone sustained any injuries, in the car accident, make sure you take pictures of the injury. This will also be used in your case.

Journal

Make sure you write a detailed account of the car accident as you remember it. This should be done right away as you will forget details as time passes. Also keep an on going account of the recovery process, the pain you are feeling and the expenses you have incurred as a result of any injuries and/or damages to personal property. Your attorney will be able to use these records to develop your case.

Michigan Police Report

You will need a police report as well. This will provide a detailed account of the accident from all involved parties. The police officer will also include his or her own observations about the car accident scene.

Medical Report

You will need an official medical report describing any injuries you may have suffered as a result of the accident. Again your Michigan car accident attorney will use this documentation to establish your case.

Medical Bills

One of the things you will be seeking, in your insurance claim and/or lawsuit, is compensation for your medical expenses. Keeping track of them is essential to your case and to ensuring that you are in fact reimbursed.

Your attorney will help you determine any additional documents that you will need in court.
