It certainly never hurts to take pictures of your vehicle and you should absolutely do it if it’s possible. This type of evidence could very well be extremely useful in the future. It can often help in showing points of impact in a collision, documenting injuries, and proving that another person was at fault. Today it is very easy to take photographs of a damaged car, an injury or an accident scene at any location and at any time because most people have camera features in their cellular phones.

If the photographs depict damage to your property, the following might be helpful:

• Take the pictures as soon as possible and definitely before the property is repaired.
• Photograph the damage from all angles and distances.

If the photographs are of a physical injury to your person, here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Have one full shot with your face in it so that it’s clear that the injuries are yours.
• Take numerous shots at different angles and distances. Zoom in and out.
• If you have undergone a surgical procedure, photograph the site of the surgery.
• If you were injured in a slip and fall, take a photo of the substance that caused you to fall if possible.
• Watch your facial expressions. Do not smile.
