Personal injury claims are won or lost on evidence. The stronger your documentation, the harder it is for an insurer to dispute liability or minimize your injuries.
Key evidence includes the police or incident report, photographs and video of the scene and injuries, witness names and statements, and your complete medical records linking the injury to the accident.
Ongoing documentation matters too: keep a record of medical appointments, out-of-pocket costs, missed work and lost income, and a journal describing how the injury affects your daily life and activities.
Some evidence is time-sensitive — surveillance footage may be overwritten, and scenes change. An attorney can act quickly to preserve evidence, including sending letters demanding that potential defendants retain relevant records.
