A successful personal injury claim needs strong evidence. Following an accident, keeping good records can make a big difference in your case.
It's very important to keep medical records. Your medical records show that your injuries are directly related to the accident and show how serious your condition is.
Pictures and videos are strong visual evidence. Take pictures of your injuries, the scene of the accident, the damage to your property, any dangerous conditions, and anything else that is important to your case.
Witness statements strengthen your case. Get the names and phone numbers of everyone who saw the accident happen. Witnesses who are not involved can back up your story.
Police or incident reports give an unbiased record of what happened. It's important to review these records to make sure the account is accurate.
Your financial records show how much money you lost. Keep all of your bills, receipts, and other paperwork for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and other costs that came up because of your injury.
Evidence can disappear quickly. Footage from cameras gets erased, it's harder to find witnesses, and memories fade. Act quickly to protect your rights.
