A successful personal injury case can be crucial in getting you the money you need to recover after an accident. Here are the major mistakes that can ruin your case. Not Documenting the Scene If you are capable of documenting the scene safely, then you should absolutely do so. Documenting the scene of an accident is very important for establishing liability, which is used to establish damages. The stronger the liability, the more likely it is the injured victim will be paid 100% of the damages they’re owed. Being partially responsible for an accident doesn’t mean you don’t have a case. A judge and jury will look at who most violated the rules of the road. Take photos of the vehicles and any marks on the roadway, talk to witnesses and other drivers, and most importantly, call the police and get a police report. All of this can be used to paint a clear picture of the accident and determine who’s at fault. Not Seeing a Doctor Damages are awarded based on the severity of the victim’s injury, so it’s important that you
document any pain or injuries caused by the crash. Doctors are a great resource in your case. They have a number of medical tools at their disposal to thoroughly document the nature and extent of your injury. A doctor’s testimony can give medical validity to your case and prove that your pain or injuries were caused by the accident. Trusting the Car You cannot determine the severity of an accident based on what the cars look like afterward. Often times, insurance companies will look at a car and say, “The damages aren’t that bad, so their injuries can’t be as severe as they claim.” This is a misleading statement. It’s important to work with a lawyer who knows how to respond when the insurance company points to the damage of a vehicle and tries to claim it’s related to the damage done to a person inside. If you were injured in a car accident caused by someone else, you could be entitled to compensation. Talk to the experienced attorneys at The Moak Law Firm and learn how to protect your case.
