A lot of times one of the most helpful pieces of evidence we have in our client’s cases are actually pre accident documents. Examples of this are a pre employment MRI. When we have a pre employment MRI on our client we can compare that with the post-accident MRI and prove with certainty that our client has suffered an injury. Another great piece of evidence in our client’s cases are often functional capacity tests that they did before they were hired by the company. A functional capacity is usually a day-long physical exercise on the employee to show what type of heavy work they can actually do. We can go into court with this test and show that before the accident our client was capable of doing very heavy labor and after the accident he’s now injured. A lot of times the best evidence in your case may surprise you.
