1. Make Sure You’re Safe

First and foremost, check for any physical injuries on yourself and anyone else who may have been in the car at the time. If there are any serious injuries, make sure to call an ambulance or get the care that you need to make sure that everyone is safe. Your physical well-being is much more important than the state of your vehicle after an accident.

Some other pertinent information may include phone numbers, driver’s license and license plate numbers, and the make and model of each car involved.
