The following tips will help you if you hope to protect your legal claim and build a strong case against the party that injured you:

·         Call the police to the scene of the accident, even if it is a minor one. After investigating the accident, the police will issue a police report. A police record will help you establish the facts of the accident.

·         Take pictures of the vehicle positions, body damage, skid marks and road conditions. You must also note down witness names and contact information. Their testimonies can play a vital role in your case.

·         Get the help of an experienced attorney to avoid any number of legal mistakes that can weaken your case.
