Not Getting Images
Getting a visual representation of how severe the injury was can be very beneficial for your case. X-rays and MRIs can be especially important if there were bone breaks or hardware had to be installed.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
If your client suffers from a brain injury make sure that all possible tests are run. Unlike an external injury, you may need to provide further evidence to show the severity.
Loss of Earning Capacity
This area isn’t just for business owners. Anyone who is unable to work due to their injury may have a claim of either lost past and future earnings. Loss of earning capacity can even extend to a forced early retirement, so make sure to look into every possible avenue.
PTSD Specialist
If the injury was a result of a traumatic situation and the client is having difficulty dealing with it mentally or emotionally, it may be valuable to look into a post traumatic stress disorder specialist and see if there may be further emotional damages.
Don’t Make Up Injuries
Be very careful when establishing potential claims. While there may be overlooked areas, it’s important not to bend the truth or try to find something that’s clearly not there. One invalidated area may hurt the credibility of the entire case.
