• If you have a camera, take photos of the accident and accident scene.
• Take the names and phone numbers of as many witnesses as possible.

• The clarity of fault on the part of the negligent party.
• The extent of the negligence displayed by the responsible party.
• The amount of property damage.
• Your own claims history.
• Your injuries and their severity.
• Your age and the medical treatment you received for your injuries.
