If witnesses were present when you were injured, their testimony could support that the opposing party was negligent.

Police Report

 A standard police report will contain information including the date, time, and location of the accident. It will also include contact information for anyone involved. The police officer who files the report will note any potentially broken laws and their assumption of what happened based on the scene’s evidence.

Photographs or Videos

 Photographic or video evidence is particularly useful in situations like slip and falls or car accidents. The photos or videos can show proof of damage and injuries and potentially the accident itself.

Medical Records

After an accident, the victim needs to seek medical attention. Even if the injuries are minor, having an official record is crucial to value a claim properly.
