After an accident, you may be scared and confused about what you need to do next. In the first 10 minutes after an accident, you NEED to …
- Stay calm. Check yourself and others for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911.
- Even if there are no injuries, contact law enforcement to file a report.
- Write down the name of any officers you talk to and tell them about any pain you are experiencing.
- Make sure you get the other driver’s information – driver’s license, insurance and contact info.
