The success of your personal injury lawsuit will heavily rely on the strength of the evidence you are able to present. Strong evidence leads to creating exposure so that the other side sees the weaknesses of their case, making them more encouraged to settle.
One of the most important factors to a personal injury claim is establishing liability. This means proving that the defendant is liable or at fault for your injuries. The evidence that can help establish liability includes police reports/records, witness statements, videos, photographs, expert opinions, and accident reconstruction reports.
Another key role of evidence is demonstrating the extent of your injuries. Evidence such as medical records, photographs of your injuries, and medical expert opinions will effectively strengthen your case. It is imperative to show the severity of your injuries and any treatments you may have received.
Evidence showing the impact on your daily life will have a significant impact on your compensation. Witness statements from your family and friends can provide insight into how your injury has changed your quality of life. Statements from employers can speak to how your injuries have affected your ability to work.
For most cases, there are economical damages such as lost wages, loss of earning capacity and expenses. Income tax returns, pay stubs, and employment records can demonstrate a loss of income. Invoices and receipts will help establish expenses related to your injury, including medication costs, transportation to medical appointments, and medical bills.
Ultimately, the evidence that you can present will have a direct impact on the compensation you can expect to receive. Evidence plays a crucial role in determining the final outcome of your case.
