What evidence should I collect right after an accident?

If you are able, take photos and video of the vehicles, the scene, skid marks, traffic signals, road conditions, and your visible injuries. Get the names, phone numbers, and insurance information of everyone involved, plus contact information for witnesses. Request the crash report number from the responding agency (Sarasota Police, Sarasota County Sheriff, or Florida Highway Patrol). Keep every medical record, bill, and receipt, and track missed work. Save texts, emails, and voicemails from insurers. Avoid posting about the accident on social media, because insurers do look.
