Things to do:

• Assess the situation, move your vehicle to the curb if safe.
• Make sure everyone involved is okay; call for medical assistance if someone is hurt.
• Call the police to the scene to make a report.
• (Don’t give the other party cash; don’t sign anything.)
• Exchange information with the other party.
  • Driver’s license, car insurance, car registration, etc.
  • Take pictures of the scene; where the damages are on both cars involved.
• Call your car insurance to report the accident as soon as possible; if possible, while you’re at the scene.

**Check the laws in your area for more accurate guidances.
