Here are some tips to help you take
effective photos at the scene of a car accident:
·
Take multiple photos of the
scene from different angles.
·
Take pictures of all vehicles
involved in the accident. Make sure that you get the vehicles' relative
positions and different angles of their proximity to other cars.
·
Take photos of any traffic
lights, stop signs, yield signs and any other traffic indicators that are near
the accident scene.
·
Take photos of the weather
condition, such as clouds, rain or snow. These pictures can be used if the
other driver blames the weather for playing a role in the crash.
·
Take photos of any damaged
street signs, trees, guardrails or any other stationary objects damaged by the
accident.
·
Take photos of any broken
glasses, windows, scratches and any other damaged parts of the vehicles. Check
inside the vehicle and get photos of any interior damages as well.
·
Take photos of license plates
of all vehicles involved in the accident and the other drivers' insurance
cards.
·
Take photos of any roadside
debris, skid marks or any other signs of crash in surrounding areas.
·
Take photos of the other
driver(s), any passengers, witnesses and police officers. This will help avoid
any confusion in identifying the people involved in the accident.
·
Take photos of any injuries you
sustained that are visually apparent.
