Any driver can be involved in a traffic accident, but not everyone knows how to collect the right evidence to protect their rights in court or with an insurance company. According to our legal practice, evidence is often the decisive factor in traffic accident cases.
The specialists of the “Advocacy and Real Estate Association of Ukraine” have prepared a list of key evidence that can help you win your case and prove your position.
1. Photos and Videos from the Scene
Immediately after the accident:
-
Capture an overview of the scene
-
Take close-up photos of vehicle damage, vehicle positions, traffic signs, traffic lights
-
Record skid marks, debris, fuel or brake fluid stains
These materials help reconstruct the actual event and disprove false claims by the other party.
2. Dashcam Recordings
A dashcam is your reliable witness that never gets confused. If you or others involved have a video of the incident, it is a strong piece of evidence for court and police.
Our lawyers will help properly format and submit the footage in court.
3. Police Report and Accident Diagram
An official police report from the scene is a basic and essential piece of evidence.
Important:
-
Check the report for errors or inaccuracies
-
Ensure all damage and violations are properly recorded
We will help you analyze and challenge the report if necessary.
4. Witness Testimony
Witnesses at the scene who are willing to provide statements can significantly influence the case outcome. Collect their contact information for future use.
Our attorneys will help legally draft written statements and summon witnesses to court.
5. Medical Documents (in case of injury)
If you were injured in the accident, seek medical help immediately and keep all medical records, diagnoses, and treatment receipts. These documents support your claim for material and moral compensation.
6. Expert Assessments of Vehicle Damage
Engaging an independent expert to assess damage is a crucial step in building a strong evidence base.
We cooperate with trusted experts and will help arrange a prompt and objective assessment.
7. Correspondence with the Insurance Company
Save all inquiries, responses, inspection reports, and decisions from your insurer. These can form the basis for a compensation claim if the insurer denies or underpays.
8. Requests to State Authorities
If needed, you can request information from road authorities or local municipalities about road conditions or signage. This may prove that poor road maintenance contributed to the accident.
