Questions for an individual claim

Claims for an infant require an appropriate representative and individual medical evidence. The wrong-way vehicle's entry route should be investigated alongside the impact. The news account does not establish which insurance policies apply or whether the injured driver has interests that conflict with the child's claim.

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.
