Step #1 – Read the entire protection coverage of your yoga insurance
This is the very first task you need to do before you make any decision, whether to file a claim or not, read the entire protection coverage of your insurance policy. Why? This will give you some time to refresh your memory on your legal rights as a policyholder, regardless you are to be blamed of the accident causing your personal injury.

-
Does your coverage extend to the type of injury you have like accidental slip or fall.
-
How severe is your injury?
Once you have derived the relevant answers to your questions, move to the next task.
Step #2 – Determine if you need a legal assistance
There are instances where a physical injury claim would require the representation of an attorney. Again, it would be best if you assess your concerns and if you aren’t in a good position to determine whether your physical injury claim is valid or not, better seek the professional services of a legal representative to get a solid advice on this critical issue.
