10 Steps If You're In An Accident

Don't admit anything yet, even if you think you may be at fault. If the other driver admits to being at fault, remember and write down what they say.
Talk to the other driver, and get their: driver's license number, address, phone, vehicle registration and car insurance information.
If the other driver doesn't stop, try (safely) to get their license plate number. You can use a camera if you have one.
Look for witnesses and get their contact information, especially from witnesses who believe you were not at fault.
Get medical help if you're injured (that's most important, of course). Don't wait until the shock wears off.
Photograph the scene, and photograph and safely store your damaged property.
Photograph your injuries.
If there is information that is helpful to your case, make sure the police officer knows and puts it in the police report.
Have your attorney handle communications between you and the insurance company.
Remember that your own insurance policies may apply to the accident.
