There are a few things you can do immediately after an accident.

1. Call the police. Even if there are no serious injuries, you will want documentation for your insurance company and your case. Make sure you are honest with them about everything that you remember happening.
2. Take pictures. This can be used as evidence in your case. Whether they are images of the injuries you have suffered or of the crime scene, these can be extremely helpful when filing a claim.
3. Exchange information with everyone involved. Whether it is the one who caused the accident or any potential witnesses, the more the better. Typically, the police officer will gather this information, however, you can do this as well.
4. Seek medical attention. It’s important to talk with a doctor who can help you with any injuries you may have suffered. Keep all of this information as well, as we can use it in your case.
