1. The law requires
you to give
“reasonable assistance”
if someone is injured.
This could involve
calling 911, taking injured
person to hospital,
or giving first aid.
Give Reasonable
Assistance
Call California Highway
Patrol or local police
Let your insurance company
know about the accident
Report to the DMV
within 10 days if:
• damage to either car
was more than $750, or
• anyone is injured or killed
Report
the accident
Do not
admit fault
What if I
get a ticket?
If you talk to anyone at the
scene of the accident, stick
to what you know -
“I was driving 30 miles
per hour,”
not
“I wasn’t speeding.”
Your understanding of the
accident may not be accurate.
Talk to an attorney
Go ahead and sign it.
Signing a ticket is not
admission of guilt.
California Law says you
must stop after an accident
regardless of what you hit or
who was at fault.
Hit and Run - if you drive
away, you could be charged
with hit and run, which
carries severe penalties.
Make sure you
take down:
Name, driver’s license
umber, vehicle info,
address of car’s owner
name and address of
insurance company
