First Attorney Call: Evidence Packet Checklist

Put the crash date, location, and your contact details on a one-page cover sheet.
Select clear copies of the plate, vehicle markings, and overall scene photographs; keep originals separately.
Attach the incident number or report and identify the responding agency.
List every insurer and claim number, identifying which vehicle or business each concerns if known.
Flag any scheduled repair, towing transfer, or disposal affecting either vehicle that you know about.
Include camera leads even if you have not confirmed a recording exists.
Mark unknown employer, contractor, or owner information as unknown rather than guessing.
Ask for a secure method to send medical and other sensitive documents.
