Take Pictures

When you are safe and able, take pictures of your injury. If it is possible to get pictures of the injury before treatment, this can be beneficial. However, any pictures of the injury help prove your case. Additionally, take pictures of the crossbow.

DO NOT try to recreate the situation that caused your injury. You may injure yourself again.
