Transcript
In almost every personal injury case, we are always thinking about liability, causation, and damages. Photographs can be critical evidence in addressing each of those three issues.
First, in terms of liability, a photograph can help establish where vehicles were at a specific time, tire markings, brake marks, or anything else that helps establish the facts as we want to allege them.
In terms of causation, photographs can help demonstrate that the specific alleged conduct led to the alleged injury.
And on the third prong, damages, photographs can help establish areas of injury and the extent of an injury, such as scarring or surgery marks. At the end of the day, photographs are critical in establishing all three prongs of every single case that we pursue on behalf of our clients.
