Left-Turn Evidence Preservation Checklist

From our guide Who Is at Fault in a Left-Turn Accident? Signals, Speed, and Evidence

  • 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.
