After a car accident, the very first thing you need to do is to ensure your health and wellness. If you or someone else has sustained injuries, call 911 or ask another person to do so on your behalf. It is also a good idea that you document the accident if you are in a position to do so. That is, take pictures of your vehicle (and the accident scene) from different angles, record any comments made by the other drivers after the crash, identify the responding officers, and ask them to direct you on how you can get a report on the accident. All these can prove invaluable in court. While you’re at the scene, it is critical that you exchange personal information and talk to your insurance provider so they can tell you what exactly is needed to process your claim.
