Medical Evidence
What is X-Ray Evidence?
Diagnostic imaging used to document injuries in personal injury cases. X-rays show bone fractures, dislocations, and some soft tissue abnormalities, providing objective medical evidence of harm.
Understanding X-Ray Evidence
X-ray evidence is crucial in injury cases because it provides visual proof of injuries that supports the plaintiff's claims. However, x-rays have limitations—they may not show soft tissue injuries like herniated discs, which require MRI or CT scans. Medical imaging must be properly authenticated and interpreted by qualified experts at trial.
