How do I prove my injuries came from the accident?
Answer: You prove causation through medical records, consistent symptoms, prompt treatment, diagnostic testing, doctor opinions, photos, and evidence showing the force of the crash.
Complete Explanation:
Insurance companies often dispute whether the crash caused the injury. They may claim the injury was pre-existing, degenerative, work-related, or caused by another event. To prove causation, your medical records should clearly describe the accident, onset of symptoms, affected body parts, treatment, and limitations. Vehicle damage, crash photos, witness statements, and expert opinions may also support the claim. Consistency is critical. Report all symptoms honestly and avoid exaggeration.
