I have a question about proving my particular TBI and nexus. Looking for any help. All advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
No in-service diagnosis of TBI
Was a passenger in an auto-accident while on active duty, was unconscious for an unknown amount of time (likely 5-10 minutes), and both myself and the driver (who was also active duty) experienced what I now understand to be symptoms of TBI following the accident.
Did seek medical attention for several weeks following the incident, and the auto accident is documented there. However, I was only seeking help for an eye and vision issue that persisted after the accident. We never even discussed other symptoms, just the eye issues.
There was no diagnosis of TBI and I was never even evaluated for it.
I plan on having a sworn statement from myself and the driver, and possibly a coworker/room-mate at the time, entered into the claim detailing the event and what followed.
I have a photo of the front of the wrecked car, and another of the front with me and the driver kneeling in front of it, but they are not dated and I'm not sure if/what weight it has as evidence.
I have been trying to get some record of the accident, particular one listing me as a passenger, but thus far it's been fruitless. I have reached out to all law enforcement agencies I believe would have covered that jurisdiction and they could no locate any record of the accident, though having more information for their search to begin with might help (such as the date and exact location). The driver of my vehicle was not at fault and therefore not cited, which seems to make it harder to find.
The driver has contacted the auto insurance company he had at the time, but they no longer have any records. My currently-pending research is focused on obtaining vehicle history for his car, as well as his driver's record. He is fully cooperative in this endeavor.
Knowing the above information, and given any experience you've had with scarcely documented events or similar claims, any advice on proving the event and TBI?
Is there any evidence I already have that should be emphasized?
Is there any evidence which could be harmful, or assertions I should avoid making that might muddy the waters?
Is there evidence I don't seem to be considering that might be worth seeking out?
