Why You Need to Keep an Injury Journal for Your ICBC Claims

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?  
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
