You may be eligible for compensation after an auto accident. With a successful motor vehicle accident case, you could receive damages to cover the costs of medical treatment, lost wages, long-term health care, property repairs and funeral costs.
There are several steps to getting fair compensation from a successful motor vehicle accident. One way is to build up evidence for a case. Here are a few things to include:
Do you have a police and medical report?
After an accident, you can get a police and medical report. If you notified the police after the accident, there should be a police report with details on the accident, including the names of the parties involved, how the accident happened and injuries.
A medical report can be obtained after seeing a paramedic or doctor. A medical report should include details of the kinds of injuries you are suffering from as a result of an accident and how they may be affecting your daily life.
Do you have pictures or video of the accident?
One way to prove liability and damages in an auto accident case is by getting pictures and video of the accident. You may have pictures of the damages done to your vehicle or property and any injuries. Having video evidence, such as from a dash camera, could help show an unbiased recount of the accident.
Do you have an eyewitness?
It may be possible that someone was nearby when an accident happened. You could get an eyewitness statement to strengthen your case.
Legal guidance can help you collect evidence for your auto accident case and experienced guidance can make it easier to understand what is important and how the evidence you have can affect the outcome of your claim.
