What kind of evidence do I need to prove my injury case?

In order to prove your injury case in Florida Maritime Law, you will need to provide evidence that shows who is at fault for your injury and that the injury or losses that you have suffered are a result of the negligence of that person or party. This evidence can include medical records, photographs, videos, and testimonies from eye-witnesses or experts in the field. In any personal injury case, you must demonstrate that you have suffered actual damages. In Florida, this means that you must show physical and/or mental injury or monetary losses as a result of the negligent party. In a Maritime Injury case, it is important to provide evidence that the injury occurred while you were in service in or about a vessel. This evidence can include documentation from your employer or vessel, such as timecards, journals, photographs, or sailing logs. Additionally, you may need to provide evidence of the faulty instrument or vessel that may have contributed to the accident or injury, such as product defect reports or inspection certificates. Take heed to ensure that any evidence that you provide is credible and admissible in court. Your lawyer should be able to assist you in finding the necessary evidence and can advise you on the best course of action to best represent your interests.
