Steps to Take After a Car Accident
Following an accident, it is important to follow these steps to make sure your safety and legal rights are protected:
- If someone is injured call 911 so medics can be sent immediately. Where applicable, call the police to come to the accident site and file an accident report.
- If possible, move the involved vehicles to the side of the road, out of traffic.
- If moving the vehicle out of the road is not possible, remain in the vehicle until help arrives and keep your hazard lights on.
- Exchange information. Each driver should give their name, address, phone number, driver’s license number, license plate number, insurance carrier, insurance policy number, and the name and address for each person in the vehicle.
- Photograph and document the accident. Write down what happened for future purposes.
- File an accident report. If applicable this can be done with the police officer who comes to the accident site. Otherwise, you can file a state accident report.
