 How Do I Prove My Injuries in a Personal Injury Case?

Car Accident Lawyer

Car Accident Lawyer

After a serious injury that was not your fault, you have to deal with the pain and the financial burden. Proving what caused the injuries and how they happened is an added burden. However, as a car accident lawyer from a a firm like Greenspan & Greenspan P.C. can explain, you will need physical evidence to present in court and when dealing with insurance companies. Photographic evidence is the best tool you can use in a personal injury claim. 

How to Gather Evidence

The first thing to do after a serious injury accident is to get medical care, even if you don’t feel like you were seriously hurt. In some accidents, adrenaline is high and you might not feel as much pain as you would normally. Other injuries might not show symptoms right away. 

If you are able to, you should also take photos of the accident site as soon as possible. Accident scenes change as things get repaired or moved. Water dries and ice melts. The sooner you (or someone else) can take photos, the better.

It’s best to get photos from various angles. For example, in a slip-and-fall accident, showing the stairs or floor from different angles can better show just how hazardous the situation was. If possible, try to take videos as well. Even standard smartphone images and video clips are better than nothing. 

Take photos of your injuries. You can’t expect to get photos at the hospital or clinic. Make sure to get as many images as possible of your bruising, burns, or puncture wounds. These photographs will bolster the medical reports by providing more evidence that your injuries caused significant pain and suffering. 

Lastly, medical records are essential if you’re planning on making a case for compensation. Medical reports from a hospital or clinic will firmly establish the nature and severity of the injuries you suffered, whether it was a car accident or a bad fall at a business. 

Reasons to Hire a Lawyer

A personal injury attorney can help prove your injuries were caused by the accident by taking a few steps. A law firm will:

  • Obtain a copy of the police report
  • Interview medical personnel who were on the scene
  • Interview witnesses
  • Photograph the accident scene
  • Obtain and review electronic records and security camera footage

A law firm will also take over all communication with the other party (or parties) and their insurance company. Insurance companies always have legal counsel looking after their interests, which makes it a challenge to pursue compensation for pain, suffering, and medical bills.
