Once you call 911, there are several steps you should take. Remain calm and check on other drivers who may be injured if it is safe for you to do so.
If you have a phone or camera, take photos of the entire scene, including all damages, injuries, traffic patterns, weather conditions, causes of the crash, and more.
Gather the names and contact information of any eyewitnesses to the crash.
Ask the police how to obtain an official copy of the accident report.
Seek medical attention for any injuries you sustained. Even if the injuries seem minor, please know that the signs and symptoms of many car accident injuries do not appear for hours or days after a crash. By going to the ER or your doctor, you are establishing a link between the crash and your injuries as well as looking out for your health.
