What kind of evidence is important for my accident claim?
The obvious answer is the name and information of the person who caused the accident, insurance information, names and contact information of witnesses, etc. But there is some additional information that may be important if your case goes into aggressive negotiations or goes all the way to trial. Pictures of you in the hospital after the accident can be crucial. Videotape of you on crutches or using a walker is extremely valuable evidence. Often times this evidence is lost because the average person does not even think of collecting that kind of evidence. But, this evidence can be extremely important later at a settlement conference or in front of a jury. Photos of the accident scene or of your vehicle can also be extremely important. The insurance company will not alert you to the need to collect all this evidence. In fact, the insurance company would prefer that you never gather such evidence--because you could use it against them.
