Photographs and Video Evidence

// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE

Our Boca Raton Car Crash Lawyers Can Help Gather Photographic Evidence and Ensure It Is Properly Interpreted

The adage, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” is never truer than when used to describe the importance of photographic evidence in auto accident claims. Photos and videos of the accident are crucial. They showcase the severity of the crash and help clearly establish the impact it’s had on you — giving viewers insight into the resultant damages to your vehicle and an impression of what you likely experienced when the crash was occurring. Because visual evidence can highlight the egregiousness of the other party’s actions, they are paramount in justifying your request for maximum compensation.

At Kanner & Pintaluga, we’ll use photographic evidence to strengthen your claim, increasing your chances of success as we pursue maximum recovery.

Should You Take Photos After a Car Crash in Boca Raton?

If possible, taking pictures and video of all the vehicles involved, including the body damage and where they came to rest after the crash, is ideal. Unfortunately, depending on where the accident occurred and at what time, collecting photographic evidence isn’t always safe or advisable. If you can’t take pictures safely, you should move your car out of the way of traffic and turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers. It’s illegal to obstruct traffic in Florida, even if it’s because you’ve just been in an accident. Be sure to move your car and/or contact a tow truck as soon as possible to avoid incurring a potential misdemeanor charge.

Once you’re out of the way of traffic, as you’re waiting for the police and medical attention, you should take extensive photos and videos of the vehicle damage and scene.

Best Practices When Filming and Photographing an Accident to Maximize Chances of a Successful Claim

To maximize their effectiveness, ensure the photos aren’t blurry and retake them if they are. Including a timestamp (or metadata if the photos and videos were taken with your phone) will prove their authenticity to law enforcement and insurance companies.

You can never take too many photos. Take photos with and without flash, at multiple angles, up close and far away and so on. The more media you gather, the more likely your Boca Raton car accident attorney can clearly establish what led to the crash and who was at fault.

While some drivers may be tempted to write down the other driver’s information rather than photograph it, this can be dangerous. While you’re experiencing the shock of the accident, you’re more likely to misspell names or mix up numbers, which can negatively impact your claim later on. Photographing or filming their information will ensure it is accurate.

What If You Were Too Severely Injured to Take Photos?

Not everyone is able to take photos or videos after an accident. One moment you could be driving, and the next you wake up in the hospital – without time or consciousness to capture immediate evidence. Alternatively, photos and videos you thought were sufficient in the moment may later be discovered to be blurry or unclear the next day.

At Kanner & Pintaluga, we have years of experience assisting clients with their auto accident claims, whether they have photos and videos or not. In the latter case, we can offer alternate strategies to bolster your case even if you weren’t able to capture photos or videos immediately. Our Boca Raton auto accident attorneys will visit the scene of the accident and inspect the vehicles to capture thorough evidence. They may also contact eyewitnesses to see if they took photos and videos that may prove useful in the investigation. Occasionally, your accident may have been recorded on a street or business’s surveillance footage, which we can request a copy of.

No matter the circumstance of your case, you deserve to have an experienced Boca Raton car accident lawyer who believes in you and will work hard for maximum compensation on your behalf. At Kanner & Pintaluga, you can trust you’re hiring a qualified attorney who’s ready to fight for your rights in negotiation rooms and court if necessary.
