Should I take pictures of the defective product?

If you’re injured by a defective product, many times you cannot take possession of it. You don’t own it. So it is extremely important that you gather all the information that you possibly can. If it has a number on it that tells you the manufacture number, write it down. Take a picture of it. Take as many pictures as you can of the product itself to preserve that and make sure that it can be identified and examined at a later time.
