Immediately after your injury, or as soon as it is safe to do so, you want to gather as much evidence as possible about what happened. Make sure you record the date, time, place, and any other pertinent details, as well as evidence to back up your claim.nnFrom the contact information of witnesses to your accident to photographs of what happened and what injuries you suffered, everything you can get is valuable towards proving that things happened the way you are claiming they did.
