What evidence do I need to support my brain injury claim?
To build a strong case under brain injury law, your attorney will need clear evidence showing both how your injury happened and how it affects your life. Common types of evidence include:
- Medical records – To document your diagnosis, treatment, and long-term outlook.
- Accident reports – Police or incident reports that explain how the injury occurred.
- Witness statements – Testimony from people who saw the accident or its aftermath.
- Imaging and test results – CT scans, MRIs, and cognitive assessments that show the severity of the injury.
- Expert opinions – Testimony from medical or vocational experts about how the injury impacts your brain function and daily life.
- Employment records – Pay stubs, HR documentation, or tax records that show lost wages or changes in earning capacity.
A skilled brain injury lawyer will know how to gather, analyze, and present this evidence to support your claim and pursue the maximum compensation available.
