Useful evidence for a personal injury claim includes medical records confirming your injury, photographs of the scene or hazard, contact details for any witnesses, and documentation of your financial losses, such as payslips or receipts. You don't need to have gathered everything before getting in touch, we can help identify and obtain what's missing.
In more detail
What medical evidence matters most?
Medical records from your GP, hospital, or any treatment you've had are central to a claim, since they confirm both the injury and its connection to the accident. In many cases, we'll also arrange an independent medical assessment specifically to support your claim.
Why do photographs matter?
Photographs of the accident scene, a hazard, or your injuries, taken as soon as possible after the event, can be some of the strongest evidence available, particularly for slip, trip, or public liability claims where conditions may change or be fixed shortly afterwards.
What if I don't have witness details?
It helps if you do, but a claim isn't ruled out without them. Other evidence, such as CCTV, incident reports, or an admission from the other party, can support a claim even without witness statements.
What financial evidence should I keep?
Payslips or evidence of lost earnings, receipts for medical costs or treatment, and records of travel expenses to appointments all support the special damages part of a claim. It's worth keeping these as you go, rather than trying to reconstruct them later.
