Taking Photos After an Accident

After an accident, things can move quickly and chaotically, especially if someone has been injured. However, it is absolutely crucial to take pictures of the damage to your vehicle and the other vehicles involved in an accident as soon as possible. If you have been injured or are otherwise unable to do so, try to contact a friend or family member to help you get the photographic evidence you need.

The very first thing you should do if you find yourself in an accident is contact the police, and make sure that everyone involved has not sustained any injuries. While waiting for the police to arrive, take as many pictures as you can of the visible damage to your car. Photos of damage can help make or break a claim with an insurance company or in a personal injury lawsuit. By documenting the damage to your car, you ensure that there is no room for interpretation as to how much you are owed to repair your property, and cement your later claims.

It is also important to take your own pictures of the other cars involved in the accident. If you can, take pictures of the road conditions such as traffic or weather. Keep an eye out for any skid marks that either car left behind. Often times the police will take these photos themselves, but it is still important to have some of your own. By taking these pictures, you protect yourself from any overly ambitious claims raised against you by other drivers and provide further evidence of your own to show your side of the story.

Once you are safe and have ensured you are not injured, contact an experienced car accident attorney Dekalb County GA turns to and bring your photos to them. A skilled personal injury attorney will be able to use the photos that you take to demonstrate just how much property damage was inflicted on your vehicle and show who was at fault in the accident. The time after a car accident is stressful enough without having to deal with court proceedings. Allow yourself to rest at ease and let your attorney ensure that you receive every dime that you are owed so that you can properly heal and repair your property.
