In today’s Long Island headlines is the story of a Farmingdale girl who quickly snapped a picture with her cell phone of a man who grabbed her by the feet while she was on a swing at the park. That man, Carlos Sanchez of Massapequa, was found and arrested by detectives in large part due to her picture.

Having a cell phone camera is a great way to protect yourself if you are injured in an accident. Take pictures at the scene of any evidence that might show how the accident happened or what was to blame. Also take pictures of your injuries and any damages you suffered. If you are in a car accident, take pictures of any damages to the other vehicle as well.
