Insurance companies will investigate the majority of claims that they receive. They'll argue against your account of how the accident took place. Question just how serious your injuries were. Dig through your statement and try and pick it to pieces. But they can't argue with hard proof photographs.
Memories get distorted with time. Important details are forgotten and replaced with information that is questionable to the insurers. However, photographic evidence is hard to disprove. It backs up your claim, shows details about an accident, captures how badly you were injured and preserves the scene as hard evidence.
So, now we are all expected to carry a camera with us in the event of an accident I hear you all shout! We'll the majority of people already do this. Millions of us carry mobile cell phones around with us everyday. They are an essential part of our modern day lives. Over 85% of mobile cell phones have a digital camera installed (source: en.wikipedia.og/wiki/Mobile_phone) that allows us to capture images instantly.
Using mobile cell phone cameras to take pictures of a road accident will no doubt help if you decide to pursue compensation for a whiplash claim . They can show the accident in full detail, if there were any obstructions in the way or other instances that may stand as evidence.
Photographic evidence is particularly important to highlight the extent of your injuries. Remember, that you also must back your photographic evidence with a medical report from your doctor or G.P.
In the event than an unfortunate accident may occur, remember and use your mobile cell phone camera to help take a permanent snapshot of the accident scene instead of relying on memory alone.
Finally, I would advise in seeking out an experienced injury lawyer to help make your compensation claim process go all the more smoothly.
