    I didn't get any pictures of anything at the hospital as my eyes were swollen shut. The officer however did get a photo of me after being cleaned up and before the stitching occurred. Im assuming that my lawyer can get access to all of that.
    Pardon me for saying, but do not assume anything. You are entering the 'Land of Oz.'

    Reach out to the officer now and try to get a copy of his photos. There could be protocols where officers cannot cooperate with lawyers without legal inquires, where he could just forward those pics to you now.

    If the cop can just hand over the pictures to the OP without legal process then the cop could do that after the OP gets a lawyer, too. There is nothing in Virginia law that restricts the cop from doing that. That's not to say he shouldn't go ahead and ask for it now; it's a good idea to ask for a copy now. However, if he doesn't get it now his lawyer can still get the photo later. The main risk of waiting is the possibility that the photo is destroyed if the cops don't need it any more. However, I'm going to guess the driver was charged for striking the OP, and if so, the photo will be used as evidence against the driver. In that case, they'll be keeping the photo at least until the prosecution runs its course.
