Proving an injury in a car accident boils down to being able to establish that the carelessness or negligence of the other driver caused the accident. Personal injury lawsuits are built on the concept of negligence.
One of the four prongs of negligence is that damages, such as an illness or injury, were sustained. After a car accident, medical professionals may be dispatched to assess the injuries of victims. If these medical professionals tend to your injuries at the scene, this helps strengthen the claim that your injuries were the result of the accident.
If you are transported in an ambulance, this can also help strengthen your case. It’s harder to show the link between an injury sustained and a car accident if you receive medical treatment days or weeks after the accident has occurred.
