What to preserve and how to preserve it?
There are specific items that should be preserved after a car accident, motorcycle accident, truck accident, bicycle accident, or pedestrian accident right away. We would suggest that you do the following:
1. Take pictures of your injuries. They’re going to get better and not look so banged up and you’re going to need that evidence. Obtain a disposable digital camera if you do not own one. Take a variety of pictures of your injuries. We would rather have a hundred pictures and only use one than only have one picture that is not usable.
2. If the accident involved a motorcycle, take pictures of and preserve your helmet and motorcycle gear. Damage to the gear, the sliding, the skidding, the cracks on your helmet and the scratches on your helmet or your visor all tell a story. If you were involved with a car, truck, bicycle, ATV, scooter, or any other vehicular accident, we suggest that you take digital pictures of all property damage. If you are unable, have your attorney take pictures as soon as possible to document the property damage. This may come into play later in the demand phase of your accident. Your South Florida personal injury attorney will thank you for this.
3. If you were involved in a motorcycle accident in Florida, we would suggest that you do not fix your bike. Maintain possession of your motorcycle and do not fix it until somebody, like a Florida motorcycle private investigator, accident reconstruction expert, or Florida motorcycle accident attorney has had a chance to look at it. If it needs to be repaired because it’s your only method of transportation, make sure document the damage with photographs of each and every inch of the motorcycle, front to back, to show what is damaged and what is not damaged because that damage also tells an important story. Obtain a detailed written repair receipt that clearly indicates exactly what parts are replaced and ask to take possession of the damaged fairings and damaged parts. The same holds true if you were involved in a car accident, truck accident, van accident, ATV accident or any vehicle accident. Get detailed written estimates, and present that information to your South Florida injury and accident attorney. If you do not have an attorney, one of our South Florida private detectives may be able to suggest a lawyer that has successfully assisted our clients in the past.
4. Document the scene as soon as possible. If you cannot go to the scene of the accident because you sustained injuries, we suggest that you have someone else go as soon as possible and take photographs and document all of the signs of the accident. Our South Florida private detectives and accident reconstruction specialist will be happy to assist you. We need to document the entire accident scene, any skid marks, any debris such as broken glass, and any street signs or damage to roadways. Motorcycles often leave tire friction marks after an accident. They leave different kinds of tire friction marks that will show different things. They leave gouges and scratches on the pavement and they leave oil where they stop and where they’re laying down. They will leave oil if they’re tumbling, similar to blood spatter or splatter. The story that the scene tells is very important in reconstructing the accident to prove what really happened. Our accident reconstruction investigators may be able to document any other possible factors that may have contributed to your car, motorcycle, truck, ATV, van, bicycle, or vehicle accident.
Cory T. Knight and our South Florida private investigation agency strongly recommend that motorcycle accident victims rapidly document all information as soon as possible including any thoughts or recollections about the accident. Just like in first grade, we need to note who, what, where, why, and when. Many times the Florida private detectives at CTK INVESTIGATIONS, LLC are able to reconstruct the motorcycle accident, car accident, bicycle accident, ATV accident, scooter accident, or pedestrian accident which proves more important than what the witnesses think they saw or heard.
