Personal Injury Law

Technology can assist in gathering valuable evidence to help an injury claim.  Below are some simple tips if you are involved in an accident:

• Record what happens after an event, including the scene, weather, who was there, etc.

• Take photos of licence plates, emergency service cards, insurance cards, damage to any vehicles

• Take down information about those at the scene

• If you have a dashboard camera, it will capture any accident as it occurs.They are small video cameras you can add to the dashboard of your car, which tracks a timeline of your journey, and has the time and date recorded

• If the accident or injury occurs in a public place, someone may have uploaded the video online or to social media. You can ask that the footage be shared with you to have another perspective on the event
