How Do Witness Statements Add Credibility to Your Fall Accident Claim? When you file a claim against a negligent property owner for fall injuries sustained on a premises, that party’s insurance company is responsible for paying the claim. It is the insurance adjuster’s job to verify your injuries and how the accident occurred. As employees of insurance companies, adjusters are interested in the company’s bottom line and will look for ways to minimize their payout or deny your claim altogether. At least one reliable witness can add value to your claim and prevent the insurance adjuster from denying it or minimizing your injuries. After a serious fall accident, you may choose to call two types of witnesses: 1. Eyewitnesses: These are people who personally observed your fall accident when it occurred. For example, there may be other customers in a store, shoppers in a mall, employees of a business establishment, or people passing by. 2. Expert witnesses: This type of witness provides expert knowledge and helps clarify facts about some aspect of the case. For instance, in the case of a fall accident that caused traumatic brain injury, you may need an expert witness to explain how the disabling, long-term effects of that type of injury could impact your ability to earn a living. Expert witnesses are usually only required in cases of very serious injuries with life-altering consequences. Contact Di Bella Law Offices, P.C. today to schedule a free consultation.
