Obtaining Witness Information After an Accident

If you are in an accident, witnesses can be a big help, especially if there's a dispute over what happened.

At the scene of a car, slip and fall or other accident, get the names, addresses and work and home phone numbers of witnesses. Try to get this information from all witnesses. This includes workers, others at the scene, and people nearby. The reasons are that some people may move away or have trouble remembering details of the accident. Also, some witnesses see or hear things from different places, so it may be necessary to have information from several witnesses to fully piece together what happened. Questions may arise about conditions at the scene, like weather or lighting. So witnesses may be helpful even if they did not see everything.

After an accident, it may be hard to think clearly and you may just think other people will get witness information. But don't assume that other parties to the accident or the police (if they respond to the accident scene) will get witness information. Obtain this information yourself. It can go a long way to help you get the maximum compensation for your accident injuries and losses.
