Stay calm, assess the situation, and make sure nobody is seriously injured
Is your vehicle in a safe location? If safe to do so, move vehicle into a safe location
Take photos of accident scene, if possible, while waiting for the police to arrive
A police report should be made and kept if damage exceeds $1000, or if there are any injuries
Both parties should keep insurance and vehicle registration information within reach
Get a story and information any witnesses that may stop at the scene under the circumstances that one of the vehicle drivers changes their story after the occurrence
Record if the driver admits to fault or apologizes because they could deny it in court
Ask for an ambulance, along with police assistance, if needed because insurance will cover these bills
Wait for the police, ask for the report, and review it for any errors
You do not need to speak with either insurance company after the accident, but it is smart to speak with an attorney immediately
