Legal proceedings are difficult enough in a first language. Conducted through an interpreter, they become slower, less precise and far more isolating, and important nuance gets lost in both directions.

A common and costly mistake after a crash is deciding you are fine because nothing hurts yet. Adrenaline masks pain for hours and sometimes days, and several serious injuries are slow to present by their nature.

Anything said then about feeling fine, or about how the crash happened, gets quoted back later when the med
