Try to remain
calm and thoughtful. If you or
anyone in your car is injured,
stay in the car unless there's
danger or fire or another
accident.
Use your cell
phone to get help form the
police and medical personnel.
Try not to
move any vehicles until police
arrive-unless it creates a
greater danger of injury.
Avoid making
statements about
responsibility to other
drivers, witnesses, the
police, or insurance
representatives without
talking to your own insurance
representative. Assist the
police with their official
report. Confirm that you and
passengers wore seatbelts.
