What to do after you've been in an accident

If you don't have a place to write down information, use your phone's camera to take pictures of the other parties: 

1. License
2. Registration
3. License plate
4. Proof of insurance
5. Vehicle / Damage / Scene

Call 911 if anyone is injured.

• Get names, addresses, phone numbers, makes of vehicles, and license numbers of all other drivers, passengers, and witnesses.
• Get all other drivers' insurance information (company, policy number, and contact info).
• Carefully examine damage to other vehicles.
• Do not admit fault.
• Call the police if there are injuries or if the other party(s) are uncooperative.
• Take photos of the accident location and the vehicles involved.
• Only discuss the accident with the police or with your insurance representative.
• Notify your insurance provider immediately.
