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. You are required to exchange this information with all parties involved in the accident. Witnesses - obtain the name, address and phone numbers of any witnesses at the scene as soon as you can.
Eye witnesses are the key to establishing fault to the other party.
Take notes - make your own written notes on all significant circumstances concerning the accident as soon as possible. Photographs - photograph the scene to preserve skid marks, position of cars and other physical evidence which may disappear after the accident. Be sure to take close up and distant photographs showing the direction of travel of all vehicles. Also obtain detailed photographs of all vehicles involved, showing the damage to the vehicle. It is also a good idea to obtain photographs of all sides of the vehicle.
