Personal injury matters
The firm describes its personal-injury practice as representation for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. If an injury in Waynesboro led you to seek help, organize the records you already have about the event and its effects. Keep your account of what happened separate from documents provided by an office or another person.
Put related correspondence in date order and identify the source of each item where it is shown. If you have contacted the City of Waynesboro about a city record, retain the inquiry and any response with the description of the document you sought. This keeps the municipal-record work connected to the events you want to explain.
