2. Keep Calm
Emotions may run high in the aftermath of a car accident. In spite of this, it is important to remain calm and stay focused at the task at hand: documenting the accident. Be careful what you say: don’t admit fault. An investigation may later show you were not responsible.
3. Exchange Information
Take good notes. Keep a pad and pencil in your glove compartment or use your cell phone to document the following:
•Name, addresses and phone numbers of all drivers and passengers involved in the accident•Car license plate number, make and model of each car involved in the accident•Vehicle operator’s driver license number, insurance company and policy number•Names and addresses of as many witnesses as possible•Names and badge numbers of police officers
