What Makes A Strong Personal Injury Claim?

PI_Law2

This is one of the common questions clients and potential clients ask us here at The Pendas Law Firm. First, we wish to emphasize that no personal injury cases are better than others. At The Pendas Law Firm, we will always fight hard for all our clients to recover the compensation they deserve.

That said, you should know that every personal injury case is different. Some factors make the value of one personal injury case higher than that of another case. Some of the factors that can make the value of one personal injury case higher than that of another case include the nature of the injuries and the available evidence. Read on for more on these two factors that can make the value of one personal injury case higher than that of another case.

The Nature of the Injuries

Significant injuries can make one personal injury claim potentially more valuable than another. For instance, someone who suffered multiple broken bones would likely need more medical treatment than someone who experienced whiplash but no other physical symptoms. The medical bills for the victim with multiple broken bones would, as a result of the significant injuries, be higher, which means the value of their personal injury claim could be larger. Additionally, other financial losses for the victim with multiple broken bones, such as pain, suffering, and lost wages, could be greater, increasing the value of their personal injury claim.

The Available Evidence

Enough strong evidence of injuries and liability can significantly increase the value of a personal injury claim. Without solid evidence, you may not recover a good amount of money in your personal injury case. For this reason, it is vital to ensure you gather enough strong evidence.

Be sure to seek medical attention promptly and maintain a record of all your medical records. Doing so can help you prove that the accident caused your injuries. It can help you prove that you didn’t suffer your injuries in a different incident. If you have a pre-existing injury that was aggravated in the accident, gather medical records that can help you prove that the accident aggravated your pre-existing injury.

If there is a police report that indicates that your accident happened because of the other party, ensure you obtain the report. This would be strong evidence that would likely increase the value of your personal injury claim. Police officers are neutral third parties who have nothing to gain from the outcome of a personal injury claim, so their opinion can prove invaluable to your case.

Additionally, keep a journal detailing how the accident and your injuries have affected your life. When journal evidence is used in a personal injury case, it can increase the value of the case. Journal evidence can, for example, help you prove non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, which can be hard to prove since they don’t have bills or receipts.
