Can Your Smartphone Help Your Personal Injury Case?
Our smartphones can pretty much do everything these days. But can it help you strengthen your personal injury case? A smartphone is your in-pocket evidence collector and can definitely help to build your case.
Collect data
If you are being victimized and are considering filing a personal injury case, a smartphone can help you to collect notes of specific events during which you suffered emotional or otherwise hurtful abuse. Who was present? What was said? Where did it happen? You can note specific dates and exactly what has been said and done.
In the case of medical malpractice, you can keep a diary of your symptoms, the treatments you received, and the information that you’ve given and received from your doctor. Having evidence with dates attached to them will help to strengthen your statements.
Take photos
If you’ve been in a car accident, you can take photos of your injuries for future reference. You can also take photos of the damage caused to your vehicle. The same goes for medical malpractice if your injuries are external. If you suspect that your loved one is being abused in a nursing home, you can take pictures of their injuries or record their complaints if they will give you permission to do so.
Personal Injury apps
If you want a one-stop solution to collecting evidence for a personal injury claim, you can consider using a personal injury or accident app. There are quite a few free apps available for iOS and Android phones that will help you to collect all the evidence that you need to build your case.
With new apps being developed at lightning speed, smartphones are making it easier and easier to collect and share data. This data can be used to collect evidence that can help your lawyer build your personal injury case. It’s still best to speak directly to a good personal injury lawyer to evaluate your case, yet being armed with concrete evidence will make it easier for your lawyer to evaluate your specific case.
