Our Bloomington personal injury attorneys recommend that you keep a symptom diary related to your case. This is a record of your experiences as a result of the injury and can take the form of a calendar, diary/journal, computer document or spreadsheet.

Although you might remember what happened, you will need to prove the harm done to you. Medical bills and wage statements show economic losses. But the diary helps track injuries that are harder to quantify.

The following tips can help you secure a favorable settlement or award:

1. Be specific. Details, such as your pain level, where the pain was located and activities that you were not able to do, help boost your case.
2. Be honest without exaggerating.

Our Bloomington personal injury attorneys at McCarthy Rowden & Baker can provide you with additional information on keeping a symptom diary.
