At the scene of the accident, get yourself to safety. Risking your life to get a picture of your vehicle is simply not worth it. Once you are in a safe place, take photographs of your car at the scene of the accident. If there are witnesses present at the scene, get their contact information (name, telephone number, and address). These witnesses could be critical in determining fault, and usually a client forgets to gather the witness’s contact information. If possible, speak with the other driver involved in the accident so you have their name, address, and insurance information.
