One
of the things an injury lawyer in Coquitlam will recommend to their
clients when trying to file for ICBC claims and getting rightful
compensation for their losses is to keep an injury journal. Why is
this important?
-
An injury journal refreshes your memory.
A
good Injury
Lawyer in Coquitlam BC
will recommend to wait for a few months to further determine the
extent of your injury before filing for an injury claim. This is to
make sure that all of your injuries have manifested. With that time,
you may already start to forget about what injuries and extent of
damages happened to you.
-
To establish credibility.
Failing
to recall the incidents of your accident and what transpired during
your recovery can make your statements in court and while being
interviewed by ICBC inaccurate. Your insurance company can call you
out for lying. Having a clear recording through a journal of your
therapies and the things that happened while recovering will
establish credibility.
-
To accurately describe the injuries and how it affected your life.
How
you felt when you were suffering from your injuries will diminish as
you heal up. You might forget how frustrated you felt when you can’t
pick up your child because of your injuries. You might also forget
how depression hit you when you were unable to control the functions
of your body. Having a journal allows you to look back as to how much
suffering you have endured as a result of your accident.
A
law firm such as Learn Zenk Barristers & Solicitors experienced
in personal injury cases can help you in determining how to create an
injury journal that can be useful when filing for an ICBC claim.
