Photo sequence

Use the parts that fit your situation. Safety, medical care and official instructions take priority over completing the list.

  • Start with wide views of the roadway and vehicle positions
  • Add medium views of each vehicle and approach
  • Take close views of damage, marks, debris and controls
  • Photograph identifying details without posting them publicly
  • Capture the vehicle again before repair, sale or disposal

Evidence index

Keep original records together and use copies when you need to annotate, share or sort them.

  • Original filename and capture time
  • Creator or source
  • Short factual description
  • Original storage and backup location
  • Date shared and recipient
  • Related estimate, report or message

Why this matters

An evidence index lets you find the original and explain its source without editing metadata or relying on memory.
