Maintain a safe following and maximum distance while driving, obey traffic laws, and remain alert. Tragic car accidents still occur despite these precautions.

As soon as you have gathered information, it is a good idea to file a police report. This allows the police to maintain information on what occurred during the accident within a central database, keeping these records on file within their department and ensuring that the data is stored securely.

Usually, the police will attend the accident scene regardless of the circumstances, but if they do not, you can contact your local police by phone or in-person to file an accident report. If the police cannot be present at the scene of the collision, they will gather that information and issue a police report later.
