 4. Seek medical treatment for injuries and keep copies of all the bills.

 5. Prepare a list of witnesses [their addresses and phone numbers] and draw a diagram of the accident. 

6. Keep a daily diary of the problems that you are experiencing -- pain, headaches, walking, etc. -- and of the medications that you are taking.
