4 Important Types of Documents Required in a Personal Injury Case

In personal injury cases, hearsay is not admissible, and this is why it is so important to provide documentary evidence to support your case.

When you sustain injuries due to another party’s mistake or negligence, you are well within your rights to sue for personal injury. Victims as well as the firms that represent them want the best outcomes and so they do everything they can to ensure they have a strong case. Arguably the most important factor in determining whether a victim wins or loses a personal injury case is the documentary evidence they can bring to the table. For a successful personal injury suit, here are the most important types of documents you need to have.

2. Medical Records

One of the first things that your personal injury lawyer will request is a copy of all of your medical records. This includes records from all the healthcare providers who treated you after the incident. Because medical records requests can take a long time to be fulfilled, they are often the first types of documentary evidence that lawyers try to obtain.

When requests take too long or if the case is filed too close to the deadline, law firms and attorneys can use a document retrieval service. The document retrieval service provided by American Retrieval helps law firms secure crucial medical records in a short time. Because these services focus on document retrieval alone, compared to lawyers who usually have a lot of things to handle, they provide accurate and thorough medical records that help win cases.

In many cases, you will be required to provide all medical records prior to the injury if you were not in perfect health or were injured at the time of the accident. Your attorney can use these records to prove that your present injuries have nothing to do with your past ones.

All medical bills and expense reports related to your injury should be kept safe as they will be required when deciding your compensation. This could include hotel rooms booked when you traveled for treatment, wages paid to caregivers, prescription medicine, and even equipment required to keep you comfortable due to the injuries. You also need to collect and provide documentation for any time you had to take off work.

Police Reports and Insurance Policies

All relevant insurance policies should be found and handed over to your attorney, regardless of the circumstances of the incident and whether you think you were at fault.
Additionally, your attorney will want to see all police reports of the incident so they can start piecing together what may have happened. Police reports can also be indicators of who was at fault for the accident.

Injury Diary

An injury diary should document how much pain you were in, what medications you took, events or work you had to miss, and everything else surrounding your injuries. Having such detailed accounts can make a huge difference in your case.

In personal injury cases, hearsay is not admissible, and this is why it is so important to provide documentary evidence to support your case. Give yourself enough time to collect all the documentation you and your attorney will need and ensure that it is as complete and accurate as possible.
