Nowadays, it does not matter how law-abiding you are when it comes to traffic rules or protocols, road accidents can still come to anyone who has impeccable carefulness when driving, to someone who has a nonchalant attitude towards safety on the road.  Majority of these road accidents happen because some reckless driver, who have no respect for traffic rules, drives by oblivious to an unlucky pedestrian or another vehicle on its path.  If and when you become a victim of such recklessness, making your injuries the fault of someone else as a result, you can definitely claim for compensation as per personal injury law.  For personal injury lawyers with proven and successful courtroom trial experiences, here are the tips they highly suggest you follow when filing for personal injury claims:

• Determine your grounds for filing the claim by analyzing if you have iron-clad potential grounds for the claim or not.  Make sure that there is no tinge of possibility that you may be at fault too, otherwise, seeking compensation is voided.
• Not only do you need to be totally honest about your recount of what happened, you also need to choose your words well.  Using words that can somehow incriminate you might decrease your chance of getting compensated or for the compensation amount to be reduced.
• It is most helpful to keep your own record of the incident in writing.  Write down even the minute of details that you remember.  You never know what information would come significant.
• You also need to present evidence that led you to not be able to come to work or suffered a loss of income, plus the expenses that came with it.  This refers to receipts of travel expenses, medical bills and documents.  If you have physical proof like videos, photographs, and witnesses, use them.
• It is also best to contact your lawyer’s office if you have specifically suffered from major injuries before you talk to a claims adjuster.  You deserve to demand for a fair compensation.
• Most importantly, file a claim the soonest time possible, otherwise, you become ineligible for any compensation if you exceed the time limit.
