Q: What do
I do if I am injured as the result of someone else’s
accidental or negligent act or failure to act?
A:
Many people find themselves in the unfortunate position
of being the victim of someone else’s actions
or failures to act. The repercussions of these incidents
go beyond mere physical or emotion injury, and often impact
a person’s financial well being, too. If you
have suffered from the negligent or intentional act of another
person or business, you should keep the following in mind:
- Seek medical attention right away, even if you don’t
think you are badly injured – leave it up to the
doctor to diagnose you;
- keep a record of all conversations you ever had with
the person or business who caused your injuries;
- only speak with your personal representatives or the
police about what happened; you are under no obligation
to talk to representatives of any other insurance company
than your own;
- contact an attorney right away – you need someone
working to protect your rights as soon as possible;
Q: What do I do if I am arrested by the
police?
A: Being arrested for a crime means that the police
have probable cause that you have committed, were committing
or were about to commit a violation of the criminal laws;
it does not meant that you are guilty. Under most
circumstances, you are entitled to assert constitutional
rights immediately upon the police detaining you. If
you have been detained, or suspect that the police are
investigating you for violating the law, tell the police
that you want to talk to your attorney before you make
any statements, and contact an attorney right away.
