Move to a safe place when possible and call 911. Get medical care for urgent symptoms and do not assume an injury is minor because pain has not fully developed.
Protecting your health and the evidence early helps preserve your options.
Photograph the vehicles, roadway, traffic controls and visible injuries. Exchange information, identify witnesses and save the crash report number.
Keep medical records, repair estimates and insurance communications together. Before accepting a final settlement, make sure you understand the injuries, available coverage and what rights the release would end.
