What You Need To Do After an Accident

You should file a police report immediately after collecting information if it is safe. In essence, it allows the police to keep records of what happened during an accident on a central database, allowing the police department to keep those records securely.

A police officer will often attend to the scene of an accident in any case, but if they don’t, you may have to contact your local police and file an accident report, which you can do after the fact by phone or in person. In this case, the police can collect that information themselves if they are not present at the collision scene, and a report will be issued afterward.
