3. 1 Determine if you or your passengers are hurt and need first aid or
immediate medical attention. If you do, seek help from emergency
medical personnel by calling 911.
2 If you are not in need of immediate attention, safely exit the
vehicle and move away from traffic.
3 Take time to survey the scene of the accident to make yourself
aware of important details such as: identify the driver of the other
vehicle(s) involved, identify any possible witnesses to the accident -
be sure to point them out to the investigating officer, look for skid
marks from the tires of any vehicle involved, as well as physical
evidence such as broken glass, broken tail lights, car parts, etc - the
location of this debris in the road way will often reveal the "point of
impact" of the vehicles which can become crucial evidence - again,
point out any thing you find to the police officer.

4. 4 Obtain the following information from the other driver(s): name,
address, phone numbers, name of liability insurance company and
name and phone number of their insurance agent.
5 Talk to the police officer - make sure that he or she understands
how the accident happened. Do not take responsibility for the
accident or state anything that may place fault on you even if you
think you may be at fault. There may be things of which you are
unaware that caused or contributed to the accident.
6 If you have a camera or camera phone take pictures of the vehicles,
the accident scene, the roadway, the driver(s) and passenger(s) of
the other vehicles.

5. 7 Collect contact details of witnesses who were not involved in the
accident - get their names, addresses and telephone numbers.
8 Obtain a copy of the accident report and case number from the
police officer.
9 Seek medical attention for yourself and all passengers in your
vehicle. Some injuries will be unnoticeable due to shock. Significant
injuries may go undetected for several days or even longer.
