Medical and factual proof
Evidence that makes this page stronger
The most useful evidence is specific to the claim type. For this page, the file becomes more persuasive when it includes The driver’s insurance, and whether they were uninsured, Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and any household policy, The criminal DUI case number and any restitution order, Whether a licensed vendor served an obviously intoxicated minor, Evidence of impairment — the police report, tests, and any witnesses, Photographs of the vehicles and the scene, and Medical treatment from first response onward. These details help separate a vague claim from a structured narrative that shows timing, severity, treatment progression, and economic impact.

Severity and value logic

Treatment story
How the treatment timeline should read
A strong treatment story has a beginning, a reason for follow-up, and an explanation for any escalation or gap. For this page, the treatment path usually turns on first response: Records tie the injuries to the crash., imaging: Objective findings support severity., continuing care: Consistency answers causation arguments., and documentation: Bills, wage loss, and future care define economics.. When that sequence is documented, the case story feels more coherent to insurers, attorneys, and anyone reviewing the file.
