Stay Calm and Safe
Take a deep breath and try to stay composed.
If possible, move your vehicle out of traffic to avoid further accidents. Turn on your hazard lights.
Check for Injuries
Make sure you and your passengers are okay.
Call 911 immediately if anyone is injured.
Call the Police
Even for minor accidents, it’s important to have an official report.
Follow their instructions and remain at the scene.
Exchange Information
Get the other driver’s name, contact info, license plate number, and insurance details.
Avoid arguing or admitting fault at the scene.
Document the Scene
Take photos of the vehicles, damage, license plates, and surrounding area.
Write down what happened while it’s fresh in your memory.
Notify Your Insurance Company
Report the accident promptly to start the claims process.
Provide all the documentation and police report if available.
Seek Medical Attention
Even if you feel fine, some injuries (like whiplash) may not be immediately obvious.
Keep records of all medical visits and treatments.
