Taking immediate action at the accident scene

• Call 911 if you think anybody has been seriously injured
• Render first aid if you are qualified to do so
• Contact a law enforcement office to write an accident report
• Record the drivers’ names and their insurance and vehicle information
• Photograph the scene, using your cell phone if you do not have a camera available
• Be cooperative, but do not admit fault

Protecting your health and legal rights

Your first priority is your health. But, you can also take vital steps to protect your legal rights. To support your physical and damages recovery:

• Report the accident to your insurance company
• Continue receiving medical treatments for your injuries
• Maintain important medical information — such as doctors’ reports and test results
• Obtain a mechanic’s quote for repair to your car
• Consult a qualified automobile accident attorney as soon as possible
