How can I take effective photos at the car accident scene?

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.
