Preserving
Evidence
Return to the scene of the accident
as soon as possible to document and preserve any
evidence and conditions which may have caused or
contributed to the accident. Conditions at the scene,
such as a slick spot on which you fell or a traffic
light that wasn't working which may have contributed
to your injuries are important pieces of evidence
which can prove the extent and severity of your
injuries.
Photograph the scene and physical
evidence from different angles and at the same time
of day as your accident occurred.
Having a witness to an accident
can be extremely valuable in making your case to
an insurance company. Witnesses may be able to describe
things about an accident that confirm what happened,
and may provide you with information that you were
not aware of.
