Your medical treatment history.
The at-fault party in your lawsuit may scrutinize your medical details to see if there is any way you could share blame for the injury. If you waited to seek treatment, stopped treatment early, or had previous injuries to the same part of the body, you will have to respond with additional evidence in your injury case proving why you are still entitled to the settlement amount requested.
How long it has been since the accident occurred.
Under state law, all victims have three years from the date of an injury to file a lawsuit. However, the longer you wait to file, the more difficult it may be to track down vital evidence needed for your case.
