If you have been involved in a car accident, there are certain steps you can take to ensure you have the evidence to build a strong case. These include the following:

• Take Pictures: Most everyone has a camera in their pocket at all times. Use your smartphone to take pictures of the scene of the accident from all angles.
• Get Contact Information of Witnesses: Witnesses to your car accident may have valuable testimony that will prove that the accident was not your fault. Obtain all contact info that you are able to get.
• Get a Police Report: The officer will provide an accident report that will contain valuable information about who is at fault, and crucial details about the accident that you may miss. In some cases, you may be required to present a police report to file a claim. Err on the side of caution by always reporting an accident to the police.
• Seek Medical Care: Oftentimes, injuries from auto accidents may not be apparent the day of the crash. This is due to the fact that an accident is stressful and will cause a spike in adrenaline. For this reason, it’s best to be checked out by a medical professional as soon as possible after a crash.
