The names and contact nos. of witnesses and the policemen who view the case. Make a note of weather conditions, visibility and of road surface, including the width. And whether the traffic controls were sufficient to indicate them? Skid marks on the road surface are given special emphasis to indicate the nature and possible reason for the accident. If another vehicle is involved in the accident, supply details, best if, you have photographs of the damage to both vehicles. An accident insurance claim gains more credibility by furnishing details about any bodily injuries incurred.
