Assuming you are able to show that the other person was "negligent" and that you did sustain an injury, the focus then turns to causation. You must prove that your injury was indeed caused by the negligent action. In most situations, this is easy to do as you were clearly healthy before the accident and following the accident you are injured. Proving causation becomes much more difficult when you already have an injury which has been re-injured in your current accident. These "pre existing injury" cases sometimes require expert medical testimony to show what damage was caused by the recent accident and what damage was already present. Proving "causation" also becomes difficult if all of your injuries are not completely reported to your doctor in a timely manner.
