Such evidence goes a long way to prove your damages that resulted from the accident, including how the other party was negligent in causing the accident, how much the accident cost you in terms of property damages, medical expenses, and lost wages, as well as how the injuries have affected your quality of life, such as pain, suffering, prolonged therapy, disabilities, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you want the court system and opposing party to see the accident from your point of view, these pieces of evidence are key:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Pictures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not just pictures, but video evidence too, if possible. Taking photographs of all elements relevant to the accident will help prove your case. Take pictures and videos of vehicle positioning, property damages (both vehicles), skid marks, bodily injuries, nearby street signs and traffic lights, environmental conditions, and more. The more media you provide, the better you attorney or in more complicated cases, an accident reconstructionist, can demonstrate the fault of the opposing party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Police Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people ask if they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chblawfirm.com\/blog\/do-i-have-to-make-a-police-report-after-a-car-accident\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have to make a police report after a car accident<\/a>, or if they can choose to just deal with the situation themselves. <strong>ALWAYS MAKE A POLICE REPORT.<\/strong> The police report provides evidence taken at the scene by a neutral, third-party in writing of the accident.\u00a0 People are less apt tot change their story about what happened with their insurance carrier if they are confronted with what the officer wrote down they said at the scene to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Witness Statements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no better way to back up your stance on a car accident that was not your fault other than having the word of an unbiased onlooker support your story. Witness statements are very effective and useful for car accident victims. Although it is not always possible for the victim themselves, gathering the contact information for any witnesses to the accident is a key step in preparing to file a claim. Name, email, phone number, and if they don\u2019t mind, their address, are the best contact data to ask for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Medical Documents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a car accident, it is critical to see a doctor regarding your injuries. By keeping all medical records, you can prove the seriousness of your injuries and the resulting consequences they have brought on. Keep and secure all medical records that stem from emergency room visits, doctors\u2019 appointments, physical therapy sessions, counseling, medical device purchases, medications, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Are you looking for skilled and experienced personal injury representation for your car accident claim in Indiana?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chblawfirm.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact the Law Office of Craven, Hoover, and Blazek P.C.<\/a> at 317-881-2700 to schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chblawfirm.com\/practice-areas\/personal-injury.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free personal injury case evaluation<\/a> for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chblawfirm.com\/practice-areas\/car-accident-injury.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indiana car accident claim<\/a>.
