Negligence is defined as doing something a reasonably careful person would not do or failing to do something that a reasonably careful person would do under the circumstances, which proximately results in damages to a person. These damages usually include pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, medical expenses and wage loss.

If a negotiated settlement cannot be achieved a lawsuit may be filed, and if the matter is still un-resolved it will be set for trial where liability and damages are ultimately determined by a jury.

1. Seek Medical Attention
   Seek medical treatment for your injuries as quickly as possible. This will also be important documentation of your injuries when it comes time to present your case to the insurance company or eventually a jury. After seeking initial treatment, contact Ozmon Law Personal Injury before speaking with insurance companies. Do not give a recorded statement to a wrongdoers insurance company.
2. Preserve Evidence, Gather Facts and Documentation
   Preserve all evidence from the accident that you can. Take Photographs of any serious injury or damage. Write down a summary of facts of the accident how and when it occurred, the time, type of injury, insurance information, and expenses lost and medical costs. Were there any witnesses to the accident? Request a copy of the police report if applicable. This will all aid Laird Ozmon in building your case.
