The purpose of a personal injury claim or a lawsuit is to “make the victim whole again.” This means compensating the victim for any losses they have sustained due to their injuries, such as medical bills and loss of income from being unable to work while recovering. There are also other losses that do not have an actual dollar value, however, the victim can receive financial compensation for these losses as well. Examples of non-economic losses include pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and permanent disability.
Some of the most common types of evidence a Phoenix personal injury lawyer uses in proving these cases are:
Medical records – In order to prove you were actually injured, you will need detailed records of the injury and the different treatments you received. These medical records prove your injuries and the financial losses through medical expenses.
