The police report is usually the starting point, since officers often make an initial fault call at the scene. Beyond that, photographs of vehicle damage and positioning, witness statements, traffic camera or dash cam footage, and skid marks all get used to reconstruct what actually happened. The earlier this evidence gets locked down, the harder it is for the other side to argue a different version of events later.
Evidence that disappears fast
Skid marks fade, dash cam footage gets overwritten, and witnesses move on and forget details within weeks. If your case involves any real dispute about fault, getting an attorney involved early to preserve this evidence matters more than people expect.
