I've been injured. What should I do?

1. Keep a journal. Right now times are tough but thankfully things will get better. Keep a journal to preserve the details of your injury. Make notes of the pain you are in, the ways you are limited physically, your doctor visits and other ways the injury has affected your life.

2. Start a folder for correspondence. Keep track of all bills, letters and documents related to your injury. These may be helpful to you later.

3. Call a lawyer. Walsh Law Firm offers a free consultation. You will not pay a thing unless we recover for you. Call us at (573) 712-2909.

4. Be aware of time limits. State statutes assign the time limits for filing lawsuits based on the type of case you have. Be informed about how much time you have to file suit. If you do not file suit within these time limits you will be barred from recovering for your injuries.

5. Get well. Do whatever it takes to get back on your feet and living your life again. Your health is your number one priority.
