The photographs depicting our client\u2019s injuries spoke volumes to the impact the motorcycle collision had on his life. It is absolutely imperative that accident victims secure photographs of any injuries they sustain following a wreck or other incident.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Photographs depicting an injury are almost always more powerful than a medical record simply describing it.
