Do I Need Photos or Video of the Crash to Prove My Case?

After a crash, most people wonder if photos or videos are the deciding factor in proving their case. It’s a common concern, especially when the moment passes quickly, and you’re left with little to show for what happened. Understanding how evidence works and what truly strengthens your case can help you make smart, confident decisions early on.

 

In the video, Atty. Tyler Monahan and Atty. Matthew McLain of Turner-Monahan PLLC explain that even without photos or videos from the crash, you may still have a strong case worth pursuing. This content is for educational purposes only.


For personalized advice, please contact Attorney Tyler Monahan, partner at Turner-Monahan, PLLC, to discuss your case. 

 

 

The Role of Photos and Videos

 

Videos, photos, and other evidence from the scene of the crash or from the vehicle involved are valuable pieces of evidence in any case. At Turner-Monahan, we always like to have this kind of visual proof when possible because it helps tell the full story of what happened.

 

Whether it’s a car accident, defective product, or serious injury, Matthew T. McLain brings the skill and compassion you need. Reach out today to discuss your case.

 

What If You Don’t Have Them?

 

However, not having pictures or videos does not mean you don’t have a case. Many people are too injured or shaken to take photos or record videos at the scene, and that’s completely understandable. You should never assume that a lack of photos or footage weakens your case.

 

Every Crash Is Different

 

Each crash is unique, almost like a thumbprint. In some cases, you might be able to take pictures or collect videos, and in others, it may not be possible. Sometimes there are witnesses or bystanders who record what happened or share statements about the crash later. Every piece of information helps, but none of it alone determines whether your case is valid.

 

For thoughtful, trial-tested representation from someone who truly understands what injury victims face, contact Attorney Matthew T. McLain at Turner-Monahan, PLLC.

 

Other Forms of Evidence That Can Strengthen Your Case

 

Even without photos or videos, your case can still be strong. Medical records, police reports, eyewitness statements, and repair estimates can all paint a clear picture of what happened. Sometimes, surveillance footage from nearby buildings or dash cams becomes available later and helps fill in the gaps. The key is to act quickly so that your attorney can preserve any available evidence before it disappears.

 

How Turner-Monahan Can Help

 

If you can safely gather evidence such as photos, videos, or witness statements, it can benefit your claim. But if you can’t, that does not stop you from filing one. It also doesn’t prevent you from reaching out to Turner-Monahan for help. We are here to assist you in any crash case, with or without photos and videos, and ensure you get the representation and compensation you deserve.
