1. Seek medical attention

After an accident, you may be confused and unsure of the extent of your injuries. This is why it’s important to seek medical attention to determine the severity of any harm you have suffered and get appropriate medical treatment. Call 911 and request EMS if you believe you need help from a paramedic. 

 2. Call 911 and file a police report  

Call the police immediately. It is crucial that you document the details of your accident in a police report. Even if the accident is minor and you believe you are not injured, make a report. The police will take note of any relevant information. 

 3. Document any damage to your vehicle

Take as many photos and videos of the scene as you can. Document damage to your vehicle, as well as damage to any other vehicles and nearby objects. If you are unable to do so, ask a friend, witness, or a paramedic to take some photos and videos of the scene.

4. Obtain insurance and contact information of anyone involved including:   

• Name  
• Driver’s license number 
• Phone number   
• Address  
• License Plate number  
• Name of the owner of the car  
• Car insurance company and policy number     

5. Notify your insurance company of the accident
