• Call the authorities. Telling the police about the accident as soon as possible can help them arrest the driver more quickly. The cops will also write down what happened in an official record that can help you when you file a claim later on.
• Get the witnesses’ names and contact details so you can reach them. They can back up what you say and confirm what happened.
• See a doctor right away to make sure you are not hurt. When you go to the doctor, a record of your injuries is also made. You need to do what your doctor tells you to do.
• Tell your insurance company. Stick to the facts and don’t point out or admit fault. If you don’t have a lawyer, you should never take a settlement deal or give a recorded statement.
