You do not need to have every answer before asking for help. Start with the information you already have and make a note of anything you are unsure about.

Keep a simple timeline
Write down when and where the accident happened, what you remember, and any conversations that followed. Keep original photos and documents together.

Gather existing records
If you have them, organize the accident report, insurance correspondence, medical bills, and records of missed work. Avoid guessing about figures you cannot yet confirm.

Prepare your questions
Ask who will review your information, what the next steps are, and what fees or agreements would apply. This checklist is general information, not legal advice.
