Whether your law firm handles personal injury, criminal defense, or family law cases, your reliance on official records helps you strategize, build a case, prove damages, and gather evidence of wrongdoing that has harmed your client. You need timely and exact records handled in compliance with state and federal laws.
If you want to know what types of records can be retrieved for legal cases, contact National Record Retrieval for answers to all of your questions.
If you are a personal injury lawyer, you need to know how your clients have been harmed and to what extent the sustained injuries are impacting their lives. Medical, laboratory, and pharmaceutical records are crucial to proving accident injuries, medical malpractice, and workers’ compensation claims. If you are expected to negotiate with insurers, you need evidence that your client’s injuries are worth a specific amount, based on their diagnoses, treatments, and progress toward healing. You must prove the at-fault party is responsible for the accident and that the sustained injuries are foreseeable. Without the retrieval of medical records, the likelihood of losing your legal case rises.
Employment records can bolster individual legal cases and also serve as evidence in mass torts and Title IX violations, including claims involving workplace discrimination, age disputes, and wrongful termination. Records may include employment and job performance history, as well as any disciplinary actions taken. These records help document a person’s ability to continue in a job if lost wages are an issue in a negligence action or future lost wages if a plaintiff is deemed disabled by the actions of another.
Civil and criminal court records reveal a consistent pattern of activities that help define a person’s motivations, propensity for behavior that could establish negligence in civil cases, and motives in defense actions. Evidence of a judge’s orders in similar actions could set the stage for the outcome a lawyer is seeking for a current client. Court documents could reveal a pattern of harm caused by specific products, which can serve as a foundation in product liability cases. Meanwhile, police records could establish conduct that a defense lawyer could argue does not support a current action against a defendant. Retrieving these types of records could be vital for your case.
If your personal injury client is a minor who has been harmed by negligence, school records could establish how the carelessness of another person has impacted them through an assessment of behavioral changes, scholastic and other participation in activities, and any disciplinary data or approved special accommodations. These records could provide evidence of a negative impact on a student that will carry into their future, which could help attorneys determine suitable awards for negligence in their legal claims.
Information is the wellspring that you need to build and defend your cases. Records of all types support your practice and allow you to assess what settlements and damages awards should look like.
