- Seek medical help right away. If necessary, call 911 or have someone else do so, and request an ambulance. Ask for police to respond so they can prepare a traffic collision report. Emergency responders may take you to the nearest hospital, but if you’re given a choice, choose the emergency room to ensure you get immediate care. If pain or symptoms continue after the accident, don’t delay—visit the hospital or your primary care doctor as soon as possible.
- Collect important information. If you’re able, gather details from everyone involved in the accident, including insurance information, driver’s license numbers, and witness contacts. Take photos of the accident scene, the vehicles, and any injuries you’ve sustained. If police are on the scene, avoid admitting fault before our team has completed a full investigation. Be sure to request a copy of the police report; if you can’t, we can obtain it for you.
