Step 1
Check for Injuries
Immediately check yourself and others for signs of injury. If anyone is injured, call 911 immediately.
Step 2
Get to a Safe Place
If your car is still drivable, pull over to the side of the road or a safe area to avoid blocking traffic or causing further collisions. If it cannot be moved, leave it where it is and get to a safe place.
Step 3
Call the Police
Even if it is a minor accident, it is important to obtain a police report documenting the incident.
Step 4
Document the Accident
Gather key information such as name, address, insurance information, license plate, and driver's license number for all drivers involved. Also collect contact information for passengers and witnesses. Be sure to take photos of the accident scene, your vehicle, and any injuries.
Step 5
Don't Admit Fault
Don't admit fault at the scene of an accident, even if you believe you were responsible. There are often factors in the accident that you may not be aware of, and you may not fully understand the applicable traffic laws or regulations.
Step 6
Notify your insurance company
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the accident and begin the claims process. Provide them with all the information they need.
Step 7
Seek medical help
Some symptoms may not appear right away, but that doesn't mean you're not injured. Be sure to get a thorough medical evaluation as soon as possible to document your health.
Step 8
Consult an attorney
Hiring an attorney allows you to focus on your recovery while they collect evidence, consult with experts, and negotiate with your insurance company.
If you have been involved in a car accident, whether you are driving a car, riding public transportation, riding a motorcycle, cycling, or as a pedestrian, you have the right to seek compensation for your personal and material damages from the insurance company of the vehicle that caused the accident.
