A personal injury journal is essentially a record that the injured party keeps from the day of their accident (or as soon as possible) to the day their case is resolved. This journal should contain details about the victim’s pain and symptoms, medication side effects, and how the injuries are impacting quality of life and relationships. A personal injury lawyer might use this journal to prove the extent of your pain and suffering and to make your case more compelling.
About Michael Waks
Michael Waks is an aggressive advocate for people who have suffered because of someone else’s actions. Michael decided to become a personal injury lawyer when, while clerking at a legal defense firm during law school, he witnessed and was infuriated by asbestos manufacturers spending millions to avoid taking responsibility for the egregious injuries they caused. Immediately after passing the bar, Michael opened his own firm in Long Beach, CA to help the victims of personal injury accidents get every benefit owed them under the law.
