Car Crash? Do Your Best To Preserve Evidence!

Always keep an inexpensive camera in the glove compartment of your car. Accidents, unfortunately, do happen, and it pays to be prepared for any eventuality. For anyone involved in an automobile accident in South Florida caused by the negligence of others, it is extremely important to try to gather and preserve as much evidence as possible to support his argument. If you have been hurt in a car crash, remember the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words – take photos of the car you were driving or in which you were a passenger, and of the actual scene of the accident. And if you’ve suffered injuries, take photos of the extent of those injuries. If you are properly prepared with a camera, keep in mind that sooner is better than later – a photo of the accident scene taken immediately after the collision is worth more than one taken any time later. And a photo of your bruises taken soon after you were injured will tell more than pictures of the same bruises once they have begun to heal.

Going forward, make sure to save all receipts, medical records, accident reports, and any other pertinent paperwork related to the accident, as all these documents can be used to verify and validate your legal claims.
