Car Accident Evidence Checklist

The evidence that matters most is the evidence you gather in the first few minutes. This printable checklist makes sure you don't miss any of it.

The short answer

  • A free, printable evidence checklist. Tick each item as you collect it, on screen or on paper.
  • Nothing is sent anywhere. Ticks are kept on this device only, and there's no email or sign-up.
  • It isn't legal advice. It's a record for your own use.

Nothing you tick or type here is sent anywhere. Ticks are kept on this device only.

Evidence fades fast — vehicles move, weather changes, memories blur. This checklist makes sure you capture what matters while it is still there. Nothing here is collected or sent anywhere; it is a sheet for your own use.

You rarely get a second chance to photograph a scene. A minute of capturing it well can save weeks of arguing about it later.

How to use it

Safety and any injuries come first — always. Once you are safe and have called the police, work through the checklist on your phone. Keep everything together afterwards. Pair it with the printable glovebox accident form for recording details.

For context on why each piece matters, see what to do after a car accident and protecting your position.
