Why Should I Take Pictures After My Car Accident?

Posted By Law Office of James M. Stanley || 15-Oct-2020

Although smartphones have been the main cause of distracted driving accidents, they are considered helpful for taking pictures after a car accident. Taking photos of the scene and other details surrounding the collision helps preserve evidence for your car insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. When you are dealing with insurance adjusters who are investigating your claim, these pictures are used to help paint a complete picture of the accident and help you recover the full compensation that you are entitled to for your injuries and damages.

The following are several tips for capturing the most evidence possible after a car accident:

  • Take pictures of the property damage: Snap photos of internal and external damage to all vehicles involved. Do not forget to photograph the make, model, and license plate numbers of the other vehicles. Be sure to capture damage to other objects or buildings, as well as any skid marks or debris.
  • Take photos of your injuries: If you can, take pictures of your injuries as soon as possible after they were sustained and in the days following your accident. Documenting the recovery process of your injury will show the full extent of the harm you suffered from the crash.
  • Take more pictures than your phone’s storage allows: Take more pictures than you think you will need. You might not notice something that you missed when you were originally taking the photos. Capture everything that you think is relevant.
  • Take pictures from multiple angles: People tend to take a picture of one thing and then move on to the next. Rather, take multiple photos of the same thing from different angles.
  • Take photos of witnesses, police officers, and the other driver: You may not recall all of the people who were present at the accident scene. It may be helpful to know who was there in case you need to speak with them later. Your lawyer may want to contact a witness or officer about giving a testimony.

What You Need to Know About Insurance Adjusters

Many people who are injured in accidents and filing claims for the first time don’t understand why they need to collect so much documentation when they trust insurance adjusters. When you get a call from an insurance adjuster after your accident, you may assume they just want to understand what happened.

It’s important, however, to know that insurance companies are looking to protect their bottom line above all else. This means that adjusters frequently use what victims say to them against them in order to undermine their claims or evade liability altogether. When you have photographic evidence, however, you can prevent insurance adjusters from giving you less financial compensation than you deserve.
