Typically, the police accident report and the medical records are the backbones of a personal injury claim. But both these sources may not tell the whole story.
Police reports may be incomplete or inaccurate - especially in cases involving cyclists. In many bicycle crash claims, victims sustain catastrophic injuries. Since they are unable to give statements to first responders, the police accident report often contains only one side of the story.
Somewhat similarly, medical bills and clinical records effectively convey important diagnostic and treatment information. But they sometimes do not convey intangible elements, such as how a victim’s injuries affect everyday life.
