How Cell Phones Can Be Helpful to Document Your Accident - Greenville Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney
We spend so much time talking about how dangerous cell phones can be when it comes to things like car accidents that we seem to forget that they can actually be helpful as well. We all know how many problems cell phones can cause at this point, but we just can't seem to put them down. People are checking their texts while trying to drive, they're paying more attention to what's happening on the screens than what's going on in the world around them, and for some people, their personal connections are suffering as a result. Normally, we would want to talk about how cell phones can be deadly, but right now we want to mention some of the ways that you can put that phone to good use.
One of the biggest ways that a cell phone can help when it comes to an injury is the camera. Many of us remember being told to keep a disposable drug store camera in your glove box in case you were in an accident. This tip is mostly obsolete now that almost every phone has a camera app. Taking immediate digital pictures of any damage done to your vehicle or yourself after you were injured can go a long way with your case. You may even be lucky and someone has access to a video of the incident to prove you weren't at fault.
Another way that your cell phone can help is through the location services. Not only can it help emergency responders find you if you need them to, it can help corroborate your statement about your injury. Time stamps, location services, and phone records are all part of the list of things that can be pulled and examined to make sure that you were injured where, how, and when you said you were. The location services needs to be on for this to work, but it certainly can help you build a stronger case.
