After a car accident, your life often turns to chaos. You don\u2019t know what you should do first or what steps you should take. All your plans just go out the window.But there\u2019s a way you can make a big difference in your case at the scene, using something that most people always carry with them: the cell phone.Here are some of the ways you can gather evidence just by using your cell phone in an Ormond Beach car accident:Dialing 911.\u00a0Of course making calls is the most useful feature of a cell phone. But many of today\u2019s new smart phones carry apps that timestamp the calls, record conversations, and save them to your phone.Photographs.\u00a0Cameras are now standard features on cell phones, saving traffic accident victims from having to keep a camera in the vehicle\u2019s emergency kit. Using your cell phone, it\u2019s simple to take pictures of the vehicle damage, vehicle placement, and weather and road conditions at the scene.Video recording.\u00a0Your phone\u2019s video offers a full picture of the accident scene, with the bonus of recording people\u2019s manner, actions and voices directly after the crash. Record as much video as you can, zooming in on damage and other significant features.Digital Notepads.\u00a0Forget about digging through your car for a pen and paper as most smart phones have note-taking features. Record the necessary names, phone numbers and addresses using your phone\u2019s keypad, making sure that you\u2019ll be able to read it clearly later. However, if your phone doesn\u2019t have this feature, you can add all the details you need under a new contact in your phone\u2019s address book.Recording Voices.\u00a0If the crash scene is too dark for pictures, or if you are too shaky to type, use this feature of your phone. After you call 911, you should record the events including any witness accounts. Make sure you have people record their names, too.As experienced Ormond Beach auto accident attorneys,\u00a0Zimmet & Zimmet\u00a0know that while you\u2019re recovering from your accident at home with your family and thinking about your vehicle\u2019s damages, your insurance company will be thinking of ways to avoid paying your claim.
