Proving Seizure Causation Steps

Summary

To establish legal causation for an epileptic seizure in New Hampshire, you need to prove a direct link between the defendants action and your seizure, show foreseeability, and provide medical evidence. Detailed medical reports, expert testimony, and documentation of the impact on your daily life are crucial. A cease and desist letter can help demonstrate foreseeability if it clearly communicates the link. Eyewitness testimonies, video footage, and a documented timeline of events can further support your claim. Consulting a local attorney is highly recommended for specific guidance.

How can I prove (under New Hampshire law) legal causation of an epileptic seizure?
Hi Susan, to establish legal causation in New Hampshire, you may need to:
- Prove a direct link between the defendant's action and your seizure
- Show that your seizure was a foreseeable result of the defendant's action
- Provide medical evidence supporting your claim
I recommend consulting with a local attorney for specific advice.
Do you have any suggestions as to what kind of medical evidence would best support my claim?
To support your claim, consider:
- Detailed medical reports documenting your condition
- Expert testimony from a neurologist or similar specialist
- Records of prescriptions or treatments related to your seizures
- Any documentation of the impact on your daily life.
Remember, a local attorney can provide more specific guidance.
Those are great ideas! Would a cease and desist letter stating that their action has caused me to have a seizure adequately demonstrate that subsequent seizures after their notification were foreseeable?
A cease and desist letter could help demonstrate foreseeability if you clearly communicated the link between their actions and your seizures. However, it's important to have other supporting evidence, like medical records or expert testimonies. Consulting a local attorney is recommended.
And how can I prove a direct link between the defendant's action and my seizure?
To prove a direct link between the defendant's action and your seizure, you may consider:
- Gathering eyewitness testimonies who observed the incident.
- Providing video footage, if available.
- Providing medical expert testimony on how the defendant's action could have triggered the seizure.
- Documenting the timeline of events showing no history of seizures before the incident.
Remember to consult a local attorney for specific advice.
