Get the name and badge number of any police officers who appear at the scene and the accident report number. Identify the Other Driver and Exchange Information Tennessee law requires that drivers involved in an accident give their name, address and vehicle registration number to the injured person and the other driver. If requested they must also exhibit their driver's license. Gather other basic information if possible, such as the license number, make, model, and year of all cars involved in the accident. Remember to get the names and addresses of all passengers involved in the accident.
Witnesses Look for people who witnesses the accident.
Witnesses will be a tremendous help later in any subsequent court action. Get the names, phone, and addresses of as many witnesses as possible. If they refuse to identify themselves jot down their license plate numbers. Do not discuss the accident with the witnesses. Do not give their names to anyone but the police, your attorney or your insurance carrier.
