Auto Accidents – Cell Phone Cameras

By: Daniel L Haverman

If you are in an auto accident, we recommend that you take photos with your cell phone’s camera to capture details that might help you later. Photos can provide important evidence and affect the validity and value of any claim.

Here are images that accident victims have photographed to document incidents:

• Alcohol containers
• Auto damage
• Bumper stickers
• Dash or rear-view mirror clutter
• Downed or obscured road signage
• Food and containers
• Law-enforcement badges and cruiser ID numbers
• License tags
• Medical personnel
• Personal injuries
• Road debris
• Skid marks
• Tow trucks
• Traffic controls
• Vehicle positions
• Vision-clocking shrubs or signs
• Weather conditions
• Witnesses
