- Save original dashcam files in a separate backup without trimming or overwriting them.
- List nearby businesses that may have cameras, including their location relative to the intersection.
- Note the crash date, approximate time, travel directions, and lane names for any footage inquiry.
- Photograph the exact turn approach from a safe public location; never stand in traffic.
- Keep a record of who has each photograph, video, or witness statement.
- Before repairs or disposal, ask your insurer or attorney whether additional vehicle documentation is needed.
- Store written preservation requests and any replies with your claim records.
