After a crash, make sure that you are in a safe place before getting out of your car. Making sure that it is safe to exit your vehicle is your number one priority.

2. Call the Police and Exchange Information

Once you are safe and have had an opportunity to speak with the at fault driver, call the police and paramedics, if necessary. Then exchange information with the at fault driver. It is best to take a clear photograph with your phone of the other driver’s insurance card, driver’s license, vehicle damage, and license plate number.

3. Take Pictures

One of the best things you can next do, is take pictures of the damages to both of the cars. Be sure to take close up shots, as well as photos of the cars from a distance. This way, you can document the damage, before any repairs or alterations are made. Also, feel free to take video. The more evidence you have, the better.

4. Seek Immediate Medical Attention

If you have suffered any injury, seek immediate medical attention, either at your local hospital or quick care center.
