If you have been injured in a California accident, there are many elements that can come together to prove your personal injury case. It is often the case that we work with an outside expert to help prove your case. Keep reading to learn how they can help. If you are in need of a free legal consultation with a personal injury attorney, contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707.
Experts Can Be Used to Gather Evidence at the Scene of the Accident
As the person who was injured in an accident, you should not be expected to go back to the scene and re-live what happened to you. Instead, we can send an outside expert who is highly trained in how to gather evidence.
Generally, law enforcement officers will have already been at the scene and marked areas of interest with flags and/or spray paint. They will generally write a report as well, but the truth is that they are not going to spend a great deal of time looking for evidence. That is the job of the parties involved in the crash and their attorneys.
One of the reasons that we suggest you contact us as soon as possible after your accident is that as time goes on, the scene of the accident can become compromised. This could be caused by weather or ongoing traffic. The sooner we can get involved, the more likely we will be to find as much evidence as is available.
Accident Reconstruction Experts Can Show Us Exactly How the Accident Occurred
Once we have as much evidence as possible, we can work with an accident reconstruction expert. They can look at pictures, physical evidence, the location of skid marks, debris, and much more to determine how the accident occurred, where exactly it occurred, and the positions of all vehicles at the time of the accident.
A Biomechanics Expert Can Be Used to Study the Impact
After the accident reconstruction expert has a good idea of what was happening at the time of impact, a biomechanics expert can study what occurred as a consequence of that impact. This can be done using evidence such as the event data recorder in the involved vehicles.
Financial Experts Can Determine the Long-Term Damages
If you have suffered a serious injury that will prevent you from working or living as you did before the accident, then we will need to determine the damages that result from this type of life change. Financial experts are the best option for this. We can work with experts who can not only determine damages but provide the evidence needed.
If you are ready to talk to a personal injury attorney, then we welcome your call to Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707. We will begin with a free legal consultation, so you know what your options are.
