How Pictures Can Help in a Car Accident Case
Everybody knows the saying: A picture is worth a thousand words. Never is this truer than after a car accident, where you may become flustered and unable to accurately recall the events that caused the accident for police or your car accident lawyer.
The rule of thumb is to photograph everything, whether or not you think it can help your case. Below are the three most important subjects to photograph that will aid law enforcement officials to construct the circumstances of the accident and your qualified South Carolina auto accident attorney to support your case:
Both vehicles – these photographs are evidence of the severity of the impact and how the accident occurred. Make sure to photograph where the vehicles came to rest after the collision
- Surrounding objects – take pictures of any trees, guardrails that your vehicle hit
- Visible injuries – if you suffered from any abrasions, lacerations or bruises, have someone take pictures of your injuries
Some injuries, such as a sprain, strain or whiplash are typically not accompanied by visible evidence, and the other driver’s car insurance company could argue that the accident impact wasn’t severe enough to hurt anyone. It is imperative that you take photos to document the severity of the impact and provide evidence for these internal injuries.
If you were involved in a car accident in the counties of Anderson, Greenville, or Spartanburg, South Carolina and would like to learn more about how photographic evidence can help your car accident case, please contact the experienced car accident lawyers at the Druanne White Law Firm today to schedule your first appointment.
