What Evidence Should I Collect After a Car Accident in Illinois?
After a car accident in Illinois, you should gather photos, police reports, witness statements, medical records, and insurance details. Collecting this information promptly helps determine who was involved and how the crash occurred.
Photos and videos are among the strongest forms of evidence. Take clear pictures of vehicle damage, skid marks, debris, traffic signals, and visible injuries. These visuals can help document the crash and support your account of the events.
Request the police report as soon as it’s available. Illinois crash reports often include diagrams,vehicle information, contact information, and witness names. These records can be useful when filing insurance claims or determining fault.
Witness statements also strengthen your account. Get the names and contact details of anyone who saw the crash. Their observations can reveal details that photos or reports may overlook.
Medical records and bills document how your injuries relate to the crash and when they started. Keeping organized copies of your treatment notes helps show the extent of your injuries and track your recovery process.
Because Illinois follows a fault-based system, early evidence collection is crucial to protecting your claim. A car accident lawyer can help organize and preserve your records before they are lost or disputed.
