Tips for Gathering Evidence About Your Car Accident

Because evidence can grow cold, it is important that you contact us as soon as possible after the accident. You can also be involved in gathering information about your car accident:

Plan Ahead
- Include a cell phone, paper and pen for taking notes, a disposable camera for taking pictures of the scene and the damage to the vehicles.
Obtain and Exchange Information
- Information about the other driver: Name, address, driver's license number, insurance information and license plate number.
- Information about witnesses: Names, addresses and, whenever possible, license plate numbers.
- Information about police officers: obtain the name, badge number and precinct number of the investigating office and request the case control number or accident report number.
- Information about the location: precisely determine the address or location of the crash scene and note information about traffic, weather and road conditions. If the configuration of the roadway played a factor, note that information as well.
- Information about the Minnesota car accident: write down how the accident happened including fault, layout of the roadway, presence of traffic control devices, etc.
Return to the scene to collect additional Information
- Take photos of the scene and the presence of debris or skid marks.
- Canvas the area to find out if nearby residents or business people witnessed the crash.
