Questions for an individual claim

Collision reconstruction and cause-of-death review answer different questions. Counsel should examine both before claiming the crash caused a particular fatal outcome. A preliminary statement about substances should not be converted into an unsupported allegation of intoxication.

Records to organize

  • The collision report, witness contact information and original scene photographs.
  • Available dashcam or nearby surveillance recordings, with timestamps preserved.
  • Vehicle photographs and inspection records relevant to the reported collision.

Preparing for a consultation

Keep a dated account of the collision and preserve the original files rather than editing the only copy of a recording. Organize treatment records, bills, work absences and insurance correspondence. A news report may identify leads, but the underlying records are needed to evaluate an individual claim. The reported severity of another person’s injuries does not establish the value or outcome of your case.

The questions above are topics for investigation, not findings of fault. This article does not indicate that Weiss Attorneys represents anyone involved in the reported matter.
