Witnesses can be essential to a car accident claim. Neutral third parties who have no stake in your case and back up your version of what occurred can be very persuasive in convincing an insurance company or jury of what happened. Insurance adjusters will often decide which version of the event is more accurate based on which version is supported by the testimony of any third party witnesses. At the scene if you speak to any third party it is important to collect the information: name, phone number and address.
