Snellings Law PLLC Attorneys are Personal Injury Trial Lawyers
Auto Accident Lawyers
Helping your attorney gather evidence to document and prove every aspect of your claim is critical to recovering full value. In fact, that is one of the most important concepts we cover during our new client meeting. Usually, we find that most people understand the importance of evidence in proving a claim or position from reading books, watching television shows, and even in trying to prove our own points during an argument. We spend significant time with our clients on what types of evidence are most persuasive and are admissible in Court.
Reporting Injuries
One specific area that our clients often fail to document, especially if they do not contact us immediately after their crash, relates to their injuries. While this comes as a surprise to some of our clients, insurance adjusters will not just take your word regarding your terrible bruise that looked as though you were hit with a bag of bricks. Cuts and bruises heal over time. Without photographic evidence of them, you cannot show the adjuster the severity of a bruise, cut, etc. or even a jury on down the road. Many times, doctors simply fail to note bruising or lacerations in their records if they are focused on larger more severe injuries. Photographs of lacerations and bruising are not just helpful to show the severity of an impact to your body, but also to show how the body may have moved within the vehicle and what parts of your body made contact with the vehicle during the crash. Once the bruises and lacerations heal, the evidence of their severity is gone.
Gathering Evidence
It is also important to take photographs of stitches, staples, casts, etc. While the medical records will surely note severe injuries and how they were treated, a photograph paints a much better picture. As a juror, would you better understand a victim’s injuries by reviewing medical records or by seeing photographs of the injuries?
At Snellings Law, our entire practice focuses on helping personal injury victims. From our very first conversation with a potential client, we work to help put them in the best position to get the treatment they need and obtain the full value of their personal injury claim. We do this by focusing on preparing a claim for trial from the outset regardless of whether a lawsuit must ever be filed. If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else’s negligence, please call us to set up your free consultation at 214-387-0387.
Free Strategy Session Reveals How To Avoid the Traps Insurance Companies Set for Victims to Destroy Claims.
How it works:
- Call us now or give us your basic information in the Free Strategy Session box

- If we can potentially help you, we will schedule a Free Strategy Session
There is zero obligation. We want all injury victims to understand their rights and the process.
After your Free Strategy Session, you will understand where insurance companies can set traps for you and what needs to be done to avoid these traps. You will also understand the personal injury process as well as how we can help, or if you need the help of an attorney. The strategy session typically will have one of three outcomes. You:
- Decide to move forward with our law firm.
- Decide to think about it, and we will be available to answer your questions.
- Say, “I’ve got this,” and decide you do not need an attorney.
Again, there is zero obligation and you will be informed and understand your rights and the process. We want to arm you with knowledge to avoid the traps insurance companies set to harm your claim.
