BRISBANE, Australia - AussieJournal -- Two key mistakes people often make in the process of a personal injury claim following an accident are failing to report the incident properly and not seeking immediate medical attention. Let's look at each of these in turn.

Failing to Report the Incident Promptly

For evidentiary and proof purposes, it is always helpful for there to be a contemporaneous record of the event which has resulted in the injury.  When incidents occur in a public place, it is therefore important to report the incident and injury to the property owner and complete an Incident Report Form where available.

Not Seeking Medical Attention Immediately

It is an important part of the claim to be able to link that a claimed injury has resulted from the event being complained about.  Where there is a delay in seeking medical attention, proving that causal link can be made more difficult.  Seeking medical attention immediately after the event, in many cases, establishes that undeniable link between the injury and the event being complained of.
