A witness who saw what happened can matter enormously later — but only if you have a way to reach them and a record of what they actually said at the time. This form gives you both. Nothing here is collected or sent anywhere — it’s simply a sheet for your own use.
"I'll remember" rarely survives a week, let alone a claim that takes months.
How to use it
If it’s safe to do so at the scene, ask any witnesses for their contact details and a brief, plain account of what they saw — before they leave and before memories start to shift. A witness who’s easy to reach later, with a note of what they actually said at the time, is far more useful than someone you have to track down weeks afterward.
This complements the evidence checklist, which reminds you to gather witness info as one of several things to collect — this form gives you the actual space to write it down properly.
