Accident reconstruction often crucial to successful injury claims

If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, then you are likely not in the best position, in terms of your health, to investigate the crash, gather evidence and make an injury claim all on your own. Your first concern should be your health, and dealing with the tactics of insurance companies will likely increase your stress.

The plaintiff lawyers of Taylor & Ring work on behalf of clients to build effective injury claims and hold insurance companies and negligent drivers accountable. A crucial aspect of building a strong claim is the gathering and preservation of evidence.

Physical evidence of a car crash is often time-sensitive, so it is important that injured parties contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after a collision. In many cases, police officers have neither the time nor the inclination to conduct a thorough investigation of a car accident, and evidence found days after the crash could be crucial to winning your case.

Evidence in a personal injury claim may include photos of your injuries, the accident site and the property that was damaged, as well as the police report, your medical records and the long- and short-term cost estimates related to the crash.

When a client contacts Taylor & Ring about an injurious accident, the firm hires an accident reconstruction expert to go to the scene and investigate exactly what happened. The expert can determine important facts of the collision, including the speed of the vehicles, the point of impact, the path of travel and other key elements that can help prove the client’s case.
