This report will give factual evidence of the time of the incident and description of the incident. It will also include the insurance information of the person involved, which will be used to mediate compensation.

3. Evidence of Bodily Injury

Medical records such as hospital stay, imaging, extended outpatient care and therapies will show the extent of the injury. Gather copies of all medical files including doctor’s notes, labs, scans and the diagnosis of injury. The doctor should be able to describe the extent of the short and long-term impact the injury will have on the victim’s life.

Every case is unique and may require different or additional evidence, but these three examples of evidence are required for all cases. Consulting with a personal injury attorney will ensure the individual case is handled appropriately through accurate evidence
