Gathering evidence for a back injury claim requires more than a doctor’s note. A variety of documentation will help show the extent of your injury, its impact on your life, and the negligence of the other party. Below are the key types of evidence you should focus on collecting.

Accident reports are vital in proving how the injury occurred. Depending on the circumstances of your case, these may include:

Statements from individuals who saw the accident can reinforce your version of events. Witnesses can help establish who was at fault or provide context about hazardous conditions that led to the injury. Be sure to:

Thanks, Ms. Donna, for doing your best to help David Hardy with what he needed.
I highly recommend Mr. Chris Roy & his staff. They made sure I was accommodated after I was involved in a motor vehicle accident early this year. I was impressed by how they handled everything, including police reports, ambulance transport, etc., and all parties involved. Thank you!
Chris really came through for our family during our legal issues. He and his assistant worked diligently to get this handled and settled as quickly as possible with the least amount of burden to us as possible. I would definitely use him again should the need arise and highly recommend him for any legal work. Thank you, Chris and Margaret, for all your help and for keeping the communication lines open throughout the process.
I was really hesitant to make the call as I had never experience what I was going through. Chris and Ms. Margaret were so patient, pleasant and very empathetic to my needs and situation. I would recommend Chris to anyone needing an Attorney! Not once did they make me feel as if I was a client and that within itself was the best feeling ever! Thanks again!!!
