If the police are involved, cooperate with them during the investigation.
Document as much as you can during and after the accident.
- If you have a dashcam or other video footage of the incident, keep it saved in a safe place.
- Take pictures of everything you can, or have a trusted friend do so if you’re unable due to your injuries.
- Take notes of the weather conditions, road conditions, timing, lighting, and any other factors surrounding the situation.
Speak to any witnesses and get their contact information if needed for testimony later on.
See a doctor right away. After an accident, you may not start feeling your injuries until later, but it’s helpful to have medical documentation.
Don’t sign anything from insurance companies or the other party without legal representation.
Seek a reputable personal injury attorney.

Workers Compensation Claims

Worker’s compensation claims can be difficult in Maine. If you are hurt while working, you are likely covered by the Maine Worker’s Compensation law. If you have a worker’s compensation claim, or think you might, Hardy Wolf & Downing may be able to help you. We typically handle worker’s compensation claims that involve third parties, (someone other than your employer at fault). We have had great success helping people in these situations recover much more than they would with only a worker’s compensation claim.

If you were hurt while at work, give Hardy Wolf & Downing a call.

You can talk to a lawyer about whether or not you have a third party claim. Our lawyers can either help you or point you in the right direction.

Either way, it’s a free consultation.
