Investigating an accident with the help of a lawyer
The legal basis for an accident claim often requires extensive investigation to understand all the aspects of the incident. This include the injuries, damages owed, and the sequence of events that led to the crash. Hiring a lawyer is the best possible start to an investigation into the matter to provide an insurance carrier, or a lawsuit with the necessary evidence.
Assembling an investigation team
Lawyers often will work with other professionals and expert witnesses to investigate a crash. However, an attorney can initiate an investigation alone, and uncover evidence to support the client. Proof usually exists at the location, such as tire marks on the road, damage to vehicles, and weather and road conditions at the location. The personal injury team can speak to and interview witnesses to gather additional information about the incident. Documentation is key. It’s the primary means of learning new details about the accident, and it can include medical data, police reports, and other detailed paperwork.
