The outcome of all Buffalo personal injury lawsuits will ultimately be determined by the evidence available. To a certain extent, cases hinge not on truth, but on proof. The truth does not matter if you cannot prove it.
For personal injury lawsuits, this can be especially true when it comes to medical treatment. The defense in such a lawsuit will be looking for holes in the treatment record – such as lapses in treatment or apparent failure to report certain conditions – that could be used to argue that your injuries are not as serious as you claim.
As a result, it is extremely important to be truthful with your medical providers and to report all of the conditions you are suffering from to them. Your personal injury attorney will need a complete record of your problems when pursuing your case. While a certain ache or pain may not seem as serious as other problems you are experiencing, you should still bring it to your doctor’s attention so that it is documented. If it is not documented and later turns out to be more serious than originally thought, the defense will in almost all cases argue that because it took so long to appear in the medical record, it must not be related to the accident that led to the personal injury lawsuit.
