Safety is
your top priority. Your first priority is to maintain the safety of everyone
involved in the accident and to take actions to prevent more smash-ups and
injuries.
If the accident is minor and the cars are still functioning, move them
off or to the side of the road.
Check for
injuries. Ask everyone who was in the car with you if they’re okay. Then check
on the driver and passengers of the other car. Call for an ambulance if needed.
Call the
police, even if the accident is minor.
Do not sign
any document unless it's for the police or your insurance agent.
Be polite,
but don't tell anyone the accident was your fault, even if you think it was.
State only
the facts, and limit your discussion of the accident to the police and your
insurance agent.
If possible,
don't leave the accident scene before the police and other drivers do.
You must also try to be calm
