Accident Photo Checklist
Taking these photos will aid your legal counsel
Remember - do not give a statement until you talk to corporate counsel or your manager to understand company policy. Send photos and documents to your legal counsel so they are protected by attorney-client priviledge.
Vehicle pictures should be taken for all invovled vehicles or assets. The more pictures the better. Try to get detailed, up-close pictures as well as wide angle area photos.
Video does not replace photos but adding video to the photos and narrating while the situation is fresh in your mind is good additional information.
