These parties include insurance companies and\/or their investigators. Your lawyer can arrange for a statement, if necessary, after fully preparing you, and attending the interview with you to object to any improper questions. Your attorney understands how to analyze liability and how to properly characterize your case for maximum advantage.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"margin: -10px 0 15px 0;\">Photographs<\/h3>\n<p>After initial medical care, have pictures taken of your injuries. Your attorney can help you with this if contacted right away. Pictures should also be taken of any other factors involved in the accident, including motor vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"margin: -10px 0 15px 0;\">Recall the Incident<\/h3>\n<p>Try to write down all the facts about the accident you can remember. Retain anything of yours involved in the accident such as your bicycle, motorcycle or bicycle helmet, torn clothes, etc. This evidence is helpful and may aid in accident reconstruction.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"margin: -10px 0 15px 0;\">Get Contact Information<\/h3>\n<p>If possible, obtain contact information for all witnesses. If you are unable to get this information because of your injuries, your attorney can help you. The trail of evidence grows cold quickly&#8211;witnesses move, leave town, or decide not to get involved. It&#8217;s best to get witness statements sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"margin: -10px 0 15px 0;\">Related Topics<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/wild-bill-law\/do_lawyer.html\" target=\"_blank\">What to look for in a law firm<\/a><br \/>\n<\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"columns one-third   \"><br \/>\n<div class=\"large-notice\"><h2>Additional Support<\/h2><p><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Law Offices of William &#8220;Wild Bill&#8221; Weiss<br \/>\n130 Sutter Street, 7th Floor<br \/>\nSan Francisco, CA 94104<br \/>\nToll Free: 1-888-MC-CRASH (1-888-622-7274)<br \/>\nLocal Phone: (415) 362-6765<br \/>\nFax: (415) 362-2405<br \/>\nOffice Hours: 8:30am-5:30pm, Pacific Time, Monday-Friday<br \/>\nE-mail: <a href=\"mailto:wildbill@wildbill-law.com\" target=\"_blank\">wildbill@wildbill-law.com<\/a><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"columns one-third   \"><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"large-notice\"><h2>PRINTABLE INFO<\/h2><p><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/wild-bill-law\/PDF_Files\/do_injury.pdf\">What To Do After an Injury PDF (552K)<\/a><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1144","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.williamweisslaw.com\/wild-bill-law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.williamweisslaw.com\/wild-bill-law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.williamweisslaw.com\/wild-bill-law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamweisslaw.com\/wild-bill-law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamweisslaw.com\/wild-bill-law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1144"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamweisslaw.com\/wild-bill-law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1206,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamweisslaw.com\/wild-bill-law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1144\/revisions\/1206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.williamweisslaw.com\/wild-bill-law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
