How should I document what happened?

If you or a loved one has been injured, the first step in your case is gathering the facts. We want to have the strongest case possible before we present it, so that means collecting any and all evidence. Click here to learn more about Evidence.

What is evidence? What does it consist of?

EVIDENCE IS ANY PROOF OF A CLAIM.

While this is a broad statement, think of it this way:

If you say something happened, evidence is anything you would bring up to support that what you said is true. Here are some examples:

  • Photos or videos of the event

  • Photos or videos of the aftermath

  • Signed witness statements or reports

  • Medical records and images

  • Expert testimony

  • and much, much more…

While there can be many types of evidence, most cases generally rely on a few strong, key things. You can provide any evidence you have collected from your injury or incident, and we recommend double-checking to produce anything you think might help. Some helpful documentation many clients provide are dashcam videos, cell phone photos and videos, documentation of their injury, and their own testimony.
