• Stop your vehicle and be careful of the traffic.
  Do not leave the scene of the accident
• Keep calm and determine if you are injured, or
  tend to others who might be injured if possible
• Call the police and, if needed, an ambulance
• Exchange information with the other driver(s)

• Identify the witnesses and get their names,
  addresses, phone numbers, and statements
• Make an accident report with the police as soon
  as possible, and notify the police if any of the
  other drivers seem to be intoxicated or under the
  influence of drugs
• Go to a hospital if you think you might be
  injured
• Contact a personal injury law firm and schedule a
  free consultation

Is it really necessary to call the police?
Yes! If you are involved in an accident it is
very important to contact the police immediately
and make an accident report as soon as possible.
It will enable the police to interview witnesses
while they are still available and conduct an
investigation of the accident before all relevant
evidence disappears. An investigation conducted
shortly after an accident is much more likely to
accurately document exactly what happened and who
was responsible.

When should I contact an attorney?
After all injured persons receive medical care,
and information is gathered from all involved
parties and witnesses, you should call a car
accident attorney who is experienced in handling
personal injury cases as soon as possible. When
you contact them they will discuss your accident
and injuries and all aspects of your claim with
you that same day and give you some solid
information and advice. If you decide to retain
their services, they will have their investigator
conduct a thorough, immediate investigation of
the accident so they may begin protecting your
rights and working on your behalf without delay.
