Important Forms of Evidence for Your Personal Injury Claim

In pursuing a personal injury claim, gather as much evidence as possible. Compiling these documents will allow your Arizona accident lawyer to build the best possible case on your behalf. Here are the most common types of personal injury documentation. 

1. 1. Accident reports and police records

   If you are in a car or truck accident, and the police were called at the time of your injury, there is more than likely an official accident report. Contact local law enforcement agency to request the report. It will serve as official documentation of the accident and should contain the insurance information of all parties.

   2. Evidence from the scene

   If you are physically able to do so, gather as much visual evidence at the scene as possible. Take photographs and video with your cell phone of the area, your vehicle or other personal property, and injuries to yourself. Record witness statements on your phone or write them down, with contact information.

   3. Evidence after the accident

   It’s a good idea to take photographs documenting your medical treatment. You might also make notes about your daily mental and physical condition.
2. 4. Medical records

   Keep anything and everything that comes from healthcare professionals related to your injury. This includes the bills themselves, as well as any treatment records and reports from your doctors, the hospital, the emergency room, your psychologist, physical therapist, or any other specialist you see in the course of your treatment.

   5. Insurance records

   Retain correspondence of any kind that you receive from insurance companies. If you get a call from an insurance company, record it or take notes about the conversation as soon as possible, but it is instead advisable to refer inquiries to your personal injury attorney rather than making any statements. Remember that insurance companies look out for their bottom line first.

   6. Work records

   Document the work you have had to skip, and the resulting wages or salary you lost. Ask your employer for your personal file, including how much you would have been paid for missed work while you were recuperating from your injuries.

3. Compensation For Your Injury

   YOnce legal liability is established, the at-fault party or parties may be required to compensate you for your injuries. Potential money damages include the following:

   • Past and future medical expenses including ongoing treatment
   • Property damage to your car or other possessions
   • Lost income, past and future
   • Emotional distress which sometimes can be as devastating as physical injuries
   • Pain and suffering
   • Other damages such as compensation for disfigurement, loss of consortium, or permanent physical impairment.
