Bring notes and evidence about the accident.

The notes should specify how the accident occurred (if you know), who or what caused it, the injuries or other harm you suffered, and what the effect of the accident has been (bills, lack of work, pain, etc.).

All successful cases depend on evidence. Evidence is needed both for how the accident occurred and what injuries you sustained.

Potential evidence includes:

  • The crash report from law enforcement
  • Your notes
  • Pictures from the scene
  • Pictures of your injuries
  • Surveillance footage of the accident scene or related incidents
  • Eyewitness testimony
  • Medical reports, such as doctor’s notes and diagnoses
