• If everyone is alright, try to clear your head and start to gather information. You will need things like the name of the other driver, the make, year and model of their vehicle. If you have a phone that takes pictures, try to capture images that will make it clear what happened. But BE CAREFUL! Don’t get so caught up in taking pictures that you put yourself in danger by not paying attention to oncoming traffic or other dangers that might be near the scene.
• Call your insurance company, ideally before leaving the scene and follow their advice.

This may also be a good time to give us a call. Sorting out an auto accident can be like untangling a ball of yarn. There may be important information you will need that may not be available later or the insurance companies may try to convince you to give up your right to be made whole just to make a quick claim. If you were injured, you should be made whole and often times that means retaining us to ensure that happens.
