It is getting more and more common to take photographs of the scene of a car accident. This is something we encourage people to do. A lot of people will take pictures of the damage to their car, which is helpful, and the damage to the other person’s car.
Taking it at the scene of the accident also gives you a layout of where everybody was right after the accident happened and what the damage actually was. This is an important step, even if you were at fault, because the other party might try to claim additional damage that had nothing to do with the accident. You are protecting yourself.
It is also really useful to have photographs of both the scene of the accident and the damage done to your car to make sure the insurance claim goes through. Plus, if you get into a fight about it and people want to know how serious the accident was, you can show the claims adjuster or a jury member just how severe the accident was. So, it is really important to try to take pictures.
