Most people don't realize the importance of knowing what to do after a car accident until they find themselves in a situation that needs such information. Truth be told, the aftermath of a car accident is often characterized by stress, pain, and confusion. Even so, it's always good to know the steps to take to protect your rights.
Seeking medical attention is the first and most important step. To do this, call 911 and request an ambulance. A police officer will likely accompany the ambulance to the scene. If you're medically able, document everything by taking photos and videos, noting the specific damages and injuries sustained, any important road signs, or anything you believe could be relevant to your case.
Next, gather the contact information of the other drivers and any witnesses at the scene.
