San Diego’s mix of coastal roads, dense urban traffic, and high pedestrian activity means catastrophic injuries can happen in many ways—often in fast-moving, high-stakes situations. After an injury, important details can disappear quickly:
- Traffic camera footage may be overwritten or limited by agency retention policies.
- Surveillance video from businesses and nearby residences may be deleted automatically.
- Witness memories fade, especially when multiple vehicles or crosswalk activity is involved.
- Medical timelines can get harder to reconstruct if you don’t keep a consistent record of symptoms, imaging, and follow-ups.
Because paralysis injuries can evolve as swelling, neurological deficits, and treatment responses become clearer, waiting too long to organize facts can weaken causation and damages arguments.
