Injury cases are won or lost in the very first hours after an accident.

Every move you make in the first 24 hours after a crash is crucial. Insurance companies begin building their case to minimize your claim before you've even left the scene. Here's what you need to do-and more importantly, what you shouldn't do-to strengthen your position and protect your rights from the start.

Without quick action, evidence can fade away, and Insurance adjusters will try to take control of your narrative.

1. Document Everything

Photographs and evidence are the foundation of any injury case.

- Take detailed photos of:

• All vehicles involved,
  from all angles.
• Any visible injuries to yourself
  and passengers.
• Road conditions, traffic signs,
  and any debris or skid marks.
