How to Preserve Evidence in a Construction Accident Case in Orange TX

Presenting evidence is the core task of any non-worker victim seeking compensation for Orange construction site injuries. As such, preserving that evidence is a crucial aspect of any personal injury case. This involves gathering and keeping the relevant information that can support your claim and your personal injury case.

The importance of obtaining and holding onto evidence cannot be overstated. Our Orange TX personal injury attorneys at Carabin Shaw have decades of experience with compiling such evidence. Medical records, physical evidence, witness statements, and more can be used to fight for the full compensation you are owed.

After a construction site accident, it falls on the injured party to prove that the construction workers and their companies were responsible for the injuries. Because of how common this occurrence is — with 891 driver, biker, and pedestrian fatalities in 2022 according to the U.S. The Department of Transportation — construction businesses have established processes for avoiding fault and limiting victim compensation.

Construction site accident claims in Texas require victims to require substantial proof in order to hold construction companies, and other at-fault parties, liable. Doing so alongside the support of a trusted attorney substantially increases your odds of success in your injury claim. This success resulted in the financial compensation you will need to cover medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Taking action immediately after construction site accidents in Orange Texas is the most reliable way to effectively preserve critical evidence. To do so, follow these important steps:

Document the accident site

Photographs and video of an accident scene clarify the state of a construction site during the time of your accident. Doing so can even help our team to establish when construction is in violation of Orange’s official Development Guide, further establishing liability.

Various angles and perspectives of the site and property damage are especially important. Saving these to a dedicated folder on your device, and printing them as soon as possible for physical copies, will help with preservation efforts.

Collect witness information

Witness statements from nearby witnesses can greatly support your claim. Audio recordings, written testimonies, etc. Ensure that you collect contact information as well so that your lawyer can verify these important sources.

Emails, letters, and texts from insurance companies, medical providers, or other parties involved with the accident may be useful to your case.
