In today's podcast, Richard discusses how to help you resolve your case through careful documentation and how this Evidence Wins Injury Cases.
Evidence Collection
Precise evidence collection will often win a case. This can be done with an investigator but also by you. Take photographs, document evidence and collect witness names at the scene. This will help you prove fault in your case and settle for a fair value.
Plaintiff Has Burden of Proof
Remember you the plaintiff have the burden of proof. Make sure you can back it up.
Witnesses
Don't rely upon the police report to obtain the names of witnesses. People come and go from the accident scene. It's important to obtain all of the names you can. Get their name, driver license number and their auto license number.
If you are on a group ride, get all of the riders names. This is important to document speed and conditions.
Target Defendant
Current insurance policy, whose car they are driving, admission statements like I wasn't looking, etc.
Your Equipment
Lights, clothing, helmet, GPS, condition of bike, these are all important pieces of evidence to prove you were riding visibly and safely. Remember to take lots of pictures.
