Free Consultations | No Fee Unless We Win | Aggressive Representation

What can you do to build your personal injury case?

Most people who are involved in a car accident find themselves confused, angry and uncertain of their next steps. These feelings can be exacerbated by the physical pain and suffering and the financial implications of their wreck, including lost wages and medical expenses.

A personal injury lawsuit may be able to provide direction, seek accountability, and lead to the recovery of compensation. In order to win one of these cases, though, you’re going to have to present persuasive evidence of both liability and the extent of your damages, which can be easier said than done.

How you can build your personal injury case

Fortunately, you can be proactive in building your claim. Here are just some of the action steps that you can take to maximize your chances of succeeding in your case:

  • Take pictures: If you’re able to do so, take pictures of the accident. Get photos of the damage caused to your vehicle, tire marks, vehicle resting positions, nearby traffic signs and signals, and a broader view of the scene of the accident. These pictures can set the scene and help you prove the elements of your personal injury claim.
  • Get witness statements: You’ll also want to obtain contact information for those who witnessed your accident while taking note of what they observed. These witnesses can be pivotal to your case, so make sure that you’re being as detailed as possible with these individuals.
  • Obtain the police report: A police report can contain a lot of helpful information, including statements made by the other driver that may be indicative of fault. The narrative of the police report may have other indicators of causation, too, and the police officer who writes up the report may give an opinion as to who is to blame for the wreck. This information can help support your claim.
  • Talk to your doctor: Proving your damages is going to be key to recovering the compensation that you deserve. This means that you’re going to have to show the extent of your harm. You own doctor may be able to help you do this by speaking to not only your current medical condition, but also your prognosis and your need for future treatment.
  • Research expert witnesses: An expert witness’ testimony can carry a lot of weight, which is why you may want to consider securing one of these experts to speak to the cause of your accident and, perhaps, your need for future medical treatment. An expert in accident reconstructions, for example, can provide you and the court with a report that details all of the accident scene evidence and an analysis of how the accident was caused and who is to blame for the crash.

Advocating for your claim and your future

Please remember that this is just a broad overview of some of the steps that you can take to build your personal injury case. There very well may be more that you can do, which is why it may be helpful for you to discuss your case with an experienced personal injury law firm.

An attorney at one of these firms can help you analyze the evidence, assess indications of contributory fault, develop legal arguments, and negotiate and litigate your claim. Hopefully, then you can rest easy knowing that you have a strong legal advocate on your side who is willing to fight for what you deserve. That way, you can spend your time and energy focusing on your recovery, spending time with your family, and getting back to your normal life as quickly as possible.
