If you’re suffering from injuries or damages after a car accident, your Las Vegas car accident lawyer may contact a witness who observed the scene to strengthen your claim.
A third party witness will be a person who has no bias toward you or another driver and is able to provide an objective account of what they observed at the scene of your accident. They may be able to provide more accurate information and details than either of the drivers because they were not injured and were uninvolved. After an accident, it can be crucial to obtain a witness statement immediately while their memory is fresh. If their observations of the events fit with your version, the court or insurance adjuster’s determination can be significantly affected.
Your Las Vegas truck accident lawyer will attempt to find a credible witness who can support your claim. The insurance company will probably attempt to call their validity into question, especially in very large claims, so it’s crucial to determine a witness’s credibility before asking them to testify in court. This includes:
After you file a claim, the insurance company will contact each witness and get a recorded statement that they will take into consideration when analyzing the accident and determining who was at fault. If your case goes to court, your Las Vegas personal injury lawyer may call him or her to testify.
Witnesses can support your claims in a variety of ways. These include:
After an accident, your health and safety is a primary concern. In some cases, you may have been unable to talk with witnesses because you needed medical attention. Your Las Vegas truck accident lawyer can interview witnesses on your behalf, evaluate the circumstances, gather evidence, and conduct an investigation. Additionally, your attorney can represent you in negotiations with insurance companies and take your case to court if necessary.
