Not paying attention to traffic ahead of you and changing lanes recklessly are violations that may result in civil damages if they cause personal injuries.
Take Another Look at Your Injury Case
Sometimes it helps to take a different view of things to understand what is really happening.
For instance, in your injury or disability case imagine what the Judge is reviewing in making her decision.
Pretend that you are the Judge and you have just heard the injured person testify that they have pain most of the day and it makes it hard to concentrate and perform daily activities.
Now imagine that you are the Judge and you are reviewing the injured person’s medical records.
The medical records report the patient is feeling fine. The records do not show any xrays or MRI’s. The records show appointments every 6 months.
You would expect the Judge to be somewhat confused with the difference between the testimony and the records.
What if the records showed doctor visits every 2 months, with an xray of the knee showing arthritis, and an emergency room visit for extreme pain thrown in, and doctor’s notes describing ongoing pain with activity.
The Judge would be able to find the injured person’s testimony more believable based on these set of records.
The point is that you want to tell your doctor everything that is happening, and you want to seek the treatment that is necessary to diagnose your condition and address the pain.
It is very unlikely to win a case based on testimony alone.
You will need to have supporting medical records explaining your pain and the extent of the pain.
