Exchange Information
Exchange contact, insurance, and vehicle information with the other driver(s) involved in the accident. This includes names, phone numbers, addresses, insurance company names, policy numbers, and vehicle details.
Document the Scene
Take photos or videos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, road conditions, and any relevant details that may support your case.
Gather Witness Information
If there are witnesses present, obtain their names and contact information. Their statements may be valuable for insurance claims or legal proceedings.
Seek Medical Attention
Even if you don’t feel immediate pain or injuries, seeking medical attention is important. Some injuries may not be apparent immediately, and documentation of your injuries will be essential for future claims.
