If a person is in an accident and is suing somebody for physical injuries.
An affidavit stating the injuries and treatments involved would be required.

In cases of child abuse, the health care provider would have give an evaluation as to the type of abuse, the injuries inflicted on the child, and possible indications of who was responible (i.e. left-handed person with a 5" hand span).
