If you have an accident…Here are some helpful tips on what to do.
- Report the accident to the police immediately.
- Seek medical attention immediately. If you are hurt, do not turn down medical attention when asked by EMS or law enforcement.
- If you are able, obtain the name, address, phone number, insurance information and the description of the vehicle of all drivers involved in the accident.
