Preserving Evidence in a Personal Injury Case

If you are filing a personal injury claim, the chances of a favorable outcome rest on the nature, quality and quantity of evidence you can produce to prove your claims. The more evidence you produce, the better your chances of receiving compensation.

Here are some ways to preserve evidence in a personal injury case: Return to the accident scene: As soon as you recover from your injuries, revisit the accident scene to locate any evidence. This is important regardless of the nature of your case.

Take photographs: Immediately following the accident, photograph everything including injuries, property damage and the condition of the road or premises. Take photos from several angles.

Record testimonies of eye witnesses: Locate eye witnesses, record their statements and get their contact information. Once their statement is transcribed, have them sign the documents.

Journal your injuries: If your injuries are serious and require medical treatment, document your treatment, care plan and progress. Keep copies of all your medical expenses and treatments.

Protect physical evidence: Preserving the physical evidence exactly as it was at the time of the accident is crucial. If you can't preserve the object, take photographs of it.
