Your lawyer must prove the responsible driver acted negligently. A careful examination of evidence and eyewitness interviews can sometimes help a lawyer identify the liable party and build a strong case.
You can help your lawyer by giving them as much information as possible.
Helpful information includes:
A police report
Photographs or videos of the accident
Contact information for eyewitnesses, such as names and phone numbers
Copies of medical reports detailing your injuries
Medical bills relating to your care
Proof of missed work due to your injuries
If you cannot gather some of this information, your lawyer can collect it on your behalf. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible to start the evidence-gathering process.
