Generally, it is a good idea to get pictures of any cuts and bruises on your body after an accident. It is hard for people to imagine but insurance companies are skeptical of many injury cases as can juries be skeptical of accidents, particularly if the collision does not show a lot of damage to the vehicles in a car accident, for example. Thus, pictures showing bruising or small cuts that were caused by an accident can be very persuasive to an insurance company and/or to the jury to document an injury, even if those bruises go away after a few days or a week. Generally, if someone goes to the hospital or to a doctor those bruises or cuts will be documented in the medical reports but pictures can help this situation as well. So yes, it is a very good idea to take pictures of the cuts and bruises on your body after an accident in Florida.
