Evidentiary Issues Condition Of Vehicle
The condition of a vehicle involved in an auto accident can be a good indicator of the likelihood and extent and injured party can prevail against the party who caused the accident's insurance company.
A personal injury attorney Phoenix case worker can use condition to prove up for example, hard to substantiate soft tissue injuries. If the car or cars involved are badly damaged or totaled, this is supportive of a claim involving more extensive and more painful, and therefore more expensive claims.
However, damage to vehicles involved in an auto accident can cut both ways. If the vehicle damage does not tend to generally support the extent of the claim relating to pain and suffering, treatment and recovery time, it may be more difficult to convince the insurer that a significant claim is warranted. This is particularly true if the a minor damaged vehicle is coupled with a soft tissue injury only and the treatment consisted of chiropractic care or physical therapy. Such a plaintiff who is asserting such a claim may have to oppose a reluctant adjuster and take the matter to the next step. This would include, small claims court, regular court, or arbitration.
