If you are in an automobile accident, it is critical to document as much as possible. If another party is involved in the accident, obtain their name, phone number, license number, and insurance information. Make a note of the accident’s date, time, and location. If anyone witnesses the collision, try to collect their contact information and preserve any statements they make that may be useful. Take photos of the situation, if possible, to document the damage. Also, obtain a copy of the police report as well as any tickets issued as a result of the accident.
