Because a sliver of fault can bar your claim, the evidence establishing that the other party caused your injury is decisive. The stronger and clearer your proof, the harder it is for the defense to shift blame.
Why Evidence Matters More in Virginia
Key Types of Evidence
Photographs of the scene and vehicles, the police report, witness names and statements, medical records, surveillance and dashcam footage, and documentation of your lost wages all build your case.
Preserving Evidence Quickly
Much evidence is perishable. Surveillance footage may be overwritten in days, and vehicles get repaired. Acting promptly — ideally with an attorney — preserves what you need.
