Turn on emergency flashers.

Call 911 if there are any injuries or visible car damage.

Do NOT move injured people – let the medics do it.

Do not move cars unless they are blocking the freeway or police tell you.

Get the following information from all drivers: name, current address and phone, insurer name, policy number.

Get photos of car damage and injuries – at the scene if possible.

Go to the Emergency Room of your nearest hospital for evaluation, and get recommended treatment.

Do not give a statement to an insurance adjuster until you’ve talked with an attorney.

Do not accept money or sign a release until all injuries have been discovered – this often takes at least one month.

Cooperate with police and give full and accurate statements (unless you may be charged with a crime because of the accident, in which case you should hire a criminal defense attorney before speaking with police).
