How important are witnesses, both legally & medically?
The answer is that witnesses are very important to every type of case, including injury cases. The most commonly necessary witnesses in automobile accidents are fact witnesses and medical witnesses. A fact witness is someone who observed the accident or who can testify about the impact of the injury on the person who got hurt. Usually, the only available witnesses to the actual automobile accidents are the drivers and occupants of the cars involved. This is because most witnesses of minor accidents drive away without leaving any information and most witnesses of major accidents are kept away from the scene until the emergency personnel have finished rendering aid. However, if independent witnesses to the accident are available, their testimony is the testimony most likely to be believed by a jury because these witnesses have no reason to lie or exaggerate. Fact witnesses who can testify about the impact of the injury are also very important because they can tell the jury how the injury
