How Your Attorney Will Prepare and Present the Best Case for Your Full Recovery
What kind of evidence is typically used to establish fault in a motor vehicle accident claim? Is it enough that you had an eyewitness? Will a police report be conclusive evidence? How will your lawyer demonstrate the full extent of your medical and financial losses to the jury?
The Different Forms of Evidence Commonly Used to Prove Liability in a Car Accident Lawsuit
According to Forbes Advisor, there are approximately 6 million motor vehicle accidents in the United States every year. Nearly 40% of those crashes cause some type of personal injury to a driver, passenger or pedestrian. When pursuing compensation on behalf of those personal injury victims, lawyers turn to many different sources for evidence of wrongdoing:
- Police reports—Though a police report may be evidence of negligence, it won’t necessarily be conclusive. Often, police reports are based on statements made by witnesses, participants or bystanders, which may or may not be accurate.
- Eyewitness testimony—Your lawyer will interview anyone who was at the scene of the accident
- Vehicle damage—Pictures of the damage to your vehicle can be compelling
- Medical records can be used to show both immediate and potential losses
- Expert witness testimony—Your lawyer may bring in an accident reconstruction specialist, someone who can look at physical evidence, such as tire tracks or skid marks, and use scientific processes to determine what happened. You may also have medical experts to testify regarding the full extent of your injuries.
