The strongest Oregon injury claims are built from evidence gathered in the first hours and days.
At the Scene
- Photos of vehicles, hazards, road conditions, and your injuries
- Names and contact details of all parties and witnesses
- Insurance and license information
- Notes on weather, lighting, and what happened
In the Following Days
- Seek and document medical care promptly
- Keep all bills, records, and receipts
- Start a journal of pain and how the injury affects daily life
- Preserve damaged property and any physical evidence
Why It Matters
Evidence fades fast — hazards get fixed, memories blur, and footage is overwritten. Early, organized documentation is one of the most powerful things you control.
