I’m an insurance adjuster, not an attorney and this is not legal advice. Just common sense actually.

As the title says, take pictures of your vehicle before moving it after an accident. Yesterday my SIL was in a parking lot accident. She backed out of a parking space and was about to put the car in drive when she was hit by a car backing out of a space on the other side of the aisle. The other guy claimed he had already backed out and she hit him. They both moved their vehicles so they wouldn’t block the aisle. Had she taken pictures of the position of the vehicles she could have proven he was at fault. Now it’s just he said she said.

Edit: Of course use common sense, be safe and obey the law.
