How Do I Prove the Injury Is Related to the Accident?

What You Need to Know After You’ve Been Hurt

Injured in an Accident? Here’s How to Connect the Dots

After a car crash, slip and fall, or workplace accident, one of the most important—and most common—questions we hear at Stewart & Stewart is:
“How do I prove this injury is actually related to the accident?”

It’s a smart question—and the answer matters when it comes to getting full compensation.

You Can’t Do It Alone—And You Don’t Have To

You can’t just say, “I was hurt in the accident,” and expect the insurance company (or a court) to accept it. You’re not a doctor. And neither are we. What you need is medical proof, and that’s where we step in.

We Work With Your Doctors to Build the Connection

To prove your injuries are related to the accident, we ask your treating doctors to provide narrative reports—these are formal statements where they explain how your injuries are consistent with, and likely caused by, the accident. These reports often become a key part of your claim, helping us show the direct link between your injury and the crash or fall.

What If You Had Prior Injuries?

That’s okay. If you had past issues, your doctor can still clarify whether the accident made them worse. Courts and insurance companies rely heavily on expert medical opinions to draw these distinctions—and we know exactly how to obtain and present that evidence.

Let Stewart & Stewart Handle the Heavy Lifting

You focus on healing. We’ll focus on proving your case. At Stewart & Stewart, we talk to doctors, gather records, and build strong claims backed by medical facts—so you can get the compensation you deserve. Call us today or visit getstewart.com.
