Evidence is the strongest tool in your injury case. No matter what claims the other party makes, nothing holds more weight in a courtroom than factual evidence that proves they were responsible for your damages. Your evidence can come in multiple forms. Pictures, forms, and official documents related to your case are great examples of evidence that can heavily impact your case.
Aspects of your case that you consider unimportant may be key pieces of evidence that could win you compensation for your damages. Even witness statements are extremely useful in your case. However, you may need some help gathering evidence. Speaking with a Rockford personal injury lawyer can help you decide what to do next.
Concrete evidence that proves the other party is responsible for your damages will always increase your chances of winning compensation in the courtroom. However, you must be proactive in obtaining your evidence. For instance, always be sure to report your accident to the proper authorities. After reporting your accident, obtain a medical evaluation of your injuries as soon as possible.
Be sure to have a copy of your records along with any updated versions. Photographic evidence and witness statements is another way to boost your case. Even showing a history of therapy sessions is useful in your case. Insurance companies will attempt to ignore your emotional distress. Having evidence of your mental pain and suffering will help your case.
Insurance companies will attempt to gather evidence against you. A representative may reach out and ask for a statement regarding your accident. However, you should never talk to an insurance company representative without first speaking to your attorney.
Anything you say could be taken out of context and used against you in court. Even when the insurance adjuster seems friendly and claims to be on our side, it’s their job to decrease your settlement amount in any way possible.
You should only allow your Rockford injury attorney to speak with an insurance company representative. Your attorney will defend you from any legal tactic they may use against you. Although the employees of insurance companies aren't necessarily bad people, but they are tasked with protecting company profits at the expense of your compensation.
