How can I prove the severity of my catastrophic injury?

In order to prove the severity of a catastrophic injury in Florida, the injured party must first obtain a medical diagnosis that will clearly demonstrate the existence of an injury and the extent of the injury. Typically, this is done by having a physician or other medical professional examine the injury and provide a medical diagnosis. In some cases, it may also be necessary to have a specialist provide a second opinion or seek testimony from expert witnesses who can offer their opinions as to the severity of the injury. In addition to a medical diagnosis, the injured party may be able to provide evidence that shows any limitations in daily activities as a result of the injury as well as the need for therapy, medical support, and other forms of assistance. Medical records, including imaging scans, can also be useful in proving the extent of the injury. If the injury is related to a specific event, such as a car accident, it is helpful to have evidence from the scene of the accident, such as photos, videos, or eyewitness accounts that demonstrate the severity of the injury. Evidence may also be provided through evidence collected by police, including accident reports, witness statements, and other information. Finally, in catastrophic injury cases it is important to consult with an attorney who has experience in catastrophic injury cases in Florida. An attorney can help ensure that all evidence necessary to prove the severity of the injury is collected and presented effectively in court.
