You can find most of the information that you need to file an insurance claim on your copy of the police report; however, you can maximize the likelihood of recovering some or all of your losses in a claim or lawsuit by collecting some additional information at the scene of the accident, if you are physically able. Some things that will help support your claim include:
- Name, address, phone, and email of all drivers, occupants, and witnesses at the scene of the accident
- Photos or videos of damage to vehicles and any visible bodily injuries
- Photos or videos of potential causes of an accident such as a road hazard or impaired drivers
