• Philadelphia residents who have been in a car
  accident know about the possible confusion that
  can result in following a crash. Yet, many may
  not know what to do after such an accident
  occurs. There are often many things rushing
  through the minds of car accident victims.

Just what actions should one take following a car
accident? One thing all car accident victims
should do is stay on the scene. Fleeing the scene
of the crash may result in the victim being
charged with a crime. Whats more, those involved
in car accidents should check to make sure all
other drivers and passengers are okay. Some may
require medical attention and it is important
that these victims get the help they need right
away.

If there are any serious physical injuries
suffered by either party or if there are
significant vehicle damages, then it is important
that the police become involved. Calling the
police as soon as possible can be important.
After, it is often necessary for the parties
involved in the wreck to exchange information.
This includes names, numbers, drivers license
numbers and insurance information, all of which
may be necessary when taking legal action later.
It is often extremely helpful to speak to any
witnesses, too.
