Tips for What to do in an Accident Call the police - even if there is no apparent personal injuries, it is advisable to contact the police.
Injuries often show up later, and it is important that an officer investigate the accident promptly.
Do not comment - do not comment on the wreck. Hasty, emotional admissions can be used against you in court. There will be sufficient time to admit blame later if the facts clearly show you were wrong. Other driver - obtain the other driver s name, address, insurance and license plate number. Ask to see the other driver s license.
