What evidence or documentation should I collect from the accident scene?

Take pictures because nothing describes the scene or damage like a photo. We all have phones with cameras, so use your phone to take pictures of damage to your vehicle, the other party’s vehicle, the scene of the accident, and any witness information. Importantly, if any eyewitness is kind enough to stop and tell you they saw what happened, get their contact information. I can’t tell you how many times defendant claimed it was my client’s fault until an independent eyewitness came forward. Also, keep any documents the police may provide to you, as well as any receipts or records from the hospital or other medical providers, as well as repair estimates, and the like. All of these documents could be important to your case, so either keep them or at least take pictures of them that you can later provide to your attorney.
