Evidence That Can Help Your Car Accident Claim

Many people are injured or killed each day in car accidents. It is imperative that you collect evidence after an accident. Right evidence can make a big difference in recovering compensation for your injuries and other damages.

Photographs

Details of the accident scene serve as crucial evidence in a lawsuit. Make every effort to take photos of the accident scene, the vehicles involved and the injuries of those involved. You can also take photos of eyewitnesses or others involved in the accident.

Notes

Write down every detail you can remember from the accident, starting from the beginning. Do this when your memory is still fresh, as you may forget and miss out on important details.

Contact Information from all the Drivers and Eyewitnesses

Collect contact information about the drivers and their insurance companies, as well as any eyewitnesses, including their names, addresses, email information, phone numbers, license numbers, license plate numbers, insurance policy information, etc.  These will help later in your claim and in the process of proving your accident.

Police Report

The police report is one of the most important pieces of evidence in the process of filing a lawsuit. This will work as proof that the accident happened. Call the police right away and keep a copy of the police report.

Medical Report

The medical report and bills are vital evidence in making a car accident claim. Be examined medically, no matter how minor your injuries may seem at the time of the accident. Getting a medical exam proves that you were injured in the accident.

If you were injured in a car accident, contact a car accident lawyer at the earliest. A lawyer can help you in your accident claim.
