After you have been involved in a Hartford, CT or any other Connecticut car accident case you should contact the police and get needed medical attention. But before you leave the scene of the accident, if you are able, you should take our your cell phone, or a better camera if you have one, and take as many pictures as you can from a number of different angles. We have all heard the expression that a picture tells a thousand words but, in certain situations, a picture can help to win a case by proving liability or bolstering the damage claim. There are many things that photographs might be able to show, such as:
The point of impact where one vehicle hit each the other would could prove if the other vehicle came into your lane of traffic;
The severity of the impact as shown by the damage to the vehicles;
Skid marks to help establish the great speed at which the other vehicle was traveling;
Potential hazards in and around the roadway such as pot holes or missing street signs;
Beer bottles or open containers of alcohol that the other driver may have removed from their car or which might have fallen out of their car;
Bald tires or various types of neglect with the other car that might have affected the operation of the vehicle;
Various pictures of the accident site from various angles which might show lights out or the line of sight;
Any other photographs that might show physical injuries; or
Perhaps a red blinking light in the other vehicle’s lane and a green blinking light in your lane of traffic.
It is also important to point out the fact there are many times issues that need to be investigated at or as close to the time of your CT car accident case or injury claim. It is important that you get the names and contact information of any witnesses so they can be contacted so determine what they saw. The accident site will change, evidence will disappear, witnesses will start to forget things so it is very important that this investigation be conducted as soon as possible. Our CT injury lawyers and car accident attorneys utilize the services of a private investigator so that all of the needed facts are uncovered, the witnesses are contacted and interviewed and other information is uncovered.
Our CT accident attorneys and injury lawyers advance all costs to investigate your case so you do not have to come up with any of these funds. These monies are only repaid to us if we obtain money damages for you and you would owe us nothing if we did no collect money for you. We also take these cases on a contingency fee basis which again means we only get paid from the money we collect for you. If there is no recovery you would also owe us no legal fees. Still need another reason why you need to hire us? We have a 30 day no cost, no fee guarantee!
