So much happens in the aftermath of a car accident, but getting certain information from the other driver is critical. Of course, that is only possible if you are not too seriously injured to do so. The most important information needed concerns the individual’s insurance company and policy number, license number, and name, address, phone number, and email. Write down the make, model, and color of any vehicles involved in the crash. Ask the other driver for the car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Do not speak with the other driver regarding fault.
If there are witnesses, obtain their contact information and ask them to make a statement regarding what they saw. Also, obtain the names and contact info for any passengers in the other car. Calling the police immediately after the crash is also crucial, even if the accident appears minor, and no one is hurt.
