Get Started#1: Seek Medical Attention if Injured
You should also seek immediate medical attention if you are injured in a car accident. Even if you think the injury is minor, it is still important to have a doctor examine and diagnose your injuries. Make sure you keep all medical records and bills relating to your accident so they can be used as evidence later if needed.
#2: Exchange Information with Other Drivers Involved
After ensuring that everyone involved in the accident is safe and that the police have been notified, your next step is to exchange information with other drivers involved. Make sure you get their name, address, phone number, insurance provider, and policy number.
