subject: Personal injury and witness testimonies [print this page] When making accident claims for an injury you have suffered, often it can be those around you at the time of the incident concerned that play the most crucial role in the settlement of your case.
Whilst your own testimony plays an important part, a witness can add strength to your case to support the chances of you gaining financial compensation for the injuries you have suffered.
For instance, if you are involved in a car accident, it is important to take down the details of other road users that saw the crash and stopped to help.
Similarly, if you suffer a trip or slip in a public place resulting in you sustaining an injury, passersby can corroborate your story and provide evidence to support your case that the area you were in was not being properly looked after.
Particularly in complex injury claims cases, expert witnesses can help to clarify details and add a perspective that you as the victim are unable to provide.
When undertaking a compensation claim with a personal injury solicitor, particularly when it involves complex knowledge, it may be necessary to call on the services of a witness to help clarify the situation and piece together the fine details of the situation in which the incident occurred.
Having the support of a witness' testimony can often result in accident compensation cases being resolved more quickly, or it can make it easier for legal professionals to determine the level of financial payout you could be entitled to.
If you have suffered an accident that resulted in injury through someone else's fault, at Claims Solicitors our accidents solicitors can help you to gather witness support and put together a strong case for financial compensation, to maximise the chances of you receiving the optimum payout for your injury.
