Personal Injury Claim
Unlike the automobile accident insurance claim, where an independent police officer will usually make some observations at the scene, premises liability cases almost never have independent witnesses or investigators to provide evidence. Any employee of a store or apartment complex is not independent. And as for all those people who saw you fall, or who could testify to the dangerous condition that caused your accident, well-forget them.
In today's world there may be a few who will give their name and phone number, but most witnesses will help you up, and perhaps stay to make sure the manager or other help has been called, but they will then continue on their way. You will later regret not asking for their name, but that is human nature. Most of us are too embarrassed to admit having been in the accident to begin with, let alone confront a witness and ask for his name.
Take your photos while proof of the accident-causing defect remains, or while evidence of your injury is fresh. Traumatic bruises will disappear, and your doctor will make no mention of them in your medical record unless the bruising is extensive, in which case there may be as many as three of four words in your report saying that you "had contusions."
As noted in the premises liability , dog bite and Photographs at the Scene sections, you are always well served by returning to the scene of the accident or injury as soon as practicable. Take a friend with you to take the photos or to witness you taking the photos. Note the date and time in your notepad. Your friend may have to testify that the photos are true and accurate representations or depictions of the scene that existed on the day the photographs were taken. Do not try to be fancy or exaggerate the scene by using telephoto or wide-angle lenses. Use a standard 35-millimeter if you are using an SLR camera or whatever lens comes on your range finder. You need to note down the type of camera you use because, if you end up going to trial, lens distortion can be a challenge. If you use a telephoto lens or wide-angle lens, you are distorting the image and it will be challenged. If you want to focus in on a particular aspect using a telephoto lens, that is perfectly fine. Just make sure that you also take a picture at 35 millimeters so the normal perspective can be shown if requested.

Evidence to Support Your Personal Injury Insurance Claim of Premises Liability, Slip and Fall, Defective Stairway, Loose Carpet, and Similar Personal Injury Claims
Unlike the automobile accident insurance claim, where an independent police officer will usually make some observations at the scene, premises liability cases almost never have independent witnesses or investigators to provide evidence. Any employee of a store or apartment complex is not independent.

You will later regret not asking for their name, but that is human nature. Most of us are too embarrassed to admit having been in the accident to begin with, let alone confront a witness and ask for his name. So now you have two factors that make premises liability cases more difficult to prove: 1) no independent investigator; and 2) our natural embarrassment overcomes the logical duty to gather as much evidence as we can.
Photographs to Preserve Evidence

Traumatic bruises will disappear, and your doctor will make no mention of them in your medical record unless the bruising is extensive, in which case there may be as many as three of four words in your report saying that you "had contusions."
