C. Investigation
If you or a friend has been injured, your best friend is probably your camera. Take photographs of everything relevant: the accident location, the damaged vehicles, the persons who were injured, the injuries, the defective product, the offensive government agent. Make extra copies of everything. Download digital photos immediately and save to hard media. Give your attorney copies of all of it.
Written documents are also important. Make police reports, and obtain copies of all police reports that have been made.
Remember also that documents are being made about you. Do not volunteer statements to people who work for insurance companies. Do obtain copies of your statements from police officers so you can correct any errors you find.
Beware of excessive investigative fees charged by some attorneys. When you review your fee agreement, be sure it doesn't provide for open-ended charges by in-house investigators at “standard rates.”
