Keep Good Records after Car Accidents
People involved in car accidents or other motor vehicle accidents are well served to keep records of everything related to the accident. Document, save and organize everything that comes into your hands involving the accident. You do not necessarily know what is important until you need it and do not have it or cannot find it.

Car Accidents and Preservation of Evidence at the Scene
Persons involved in car accidents should take certain steps to preserve physical evidence. "The items of physical evidence are the silent sentinels of the truth." The scene of an accident is fluid. Its physical characteristics will change and the physical evidence will disappear quickly. Will the snow and ice that covered the roadway be there tomorrow? Will the rain wash away the skid marks? How soon will the authorities clear the debris? If you have a camera in your car, take pictures. If not, have someone come to the scene and bring a camera. If this is not feasible, return to the scene as soon as possible and take photographs. It is better to have someone with you when the photographs are taken so that the photographs may be authenticated by a corroborating witness.

Seeking Medical Treatment after Car Accidents
Persons involved in car accidents should make sure that they seek treatment for their injuries. It is human nature to be upset and perhaps even embarrassed after an accident. Your frazzled nerves may mask symptoms of injury. You may want to do nothing more than to go home and be alone. Nevertheless, seek medical attention if you have any doubt about the possibility of an injury or about the possibility of an injury to one of your family members or passengers. At the scene of the accident, if the police officer asks if you are injured or need medical treatment, it is better to err on the side of caution. It is better to say "I don't know" than "No."
