On Evan Schaeffer's Illinois
Trial Practice Weblog of March
28, 2005, he links to a great
article on photographing the accident scene Jack Murray called
"Ten Tips for Photographing Vehicles for Litigation." This article
provides quality advice such as locating the secondary VIN (vehicle
identification number) to verify vehicle identification in the
event the primary VIN is inaccessible, the type of filters to
use, and when to use a flash (which is a bit counter intuitive).
This article should be reviewed before taking photographs after
an accident. In a truck
accident case, it would be wise to also consider photographing:
- The DOT, ICC and the unit numbers;
- The tires from all sides and angles (including underneath);
- The tractor and the trailer (together and separately);
- All reflective surfaces;
- Any cargo restraints; and
- Any exterior writings, including warnings, instructions,
or slogans.
