Accident Checklist

  1. Call 911. Get assistance. Even minor accidents may not stay minor.

  2. Get a photograph or video of the scene. Show the cars as they appeared at the time before officers and tow trucks start moving them.

  3. Get the name and telephone numbers of witnesses. Crucial because people tend to want to help early on,
    but disappear later when it appears that everything is under control.

  4. Get the insurance information of the other driver(s).

  5. Seek medical attention. Do not delay medical treatment because you are worried about who is going to pay for it.
    Early medical intervention may save you from a serious long term injury.
