1. Stop your vehicle and check for injuries. If anyone is injured, call 911 immediately.
2. Move your vehicle to the side of the road, if possible, to avoid blocking traffic.
3. Exchange information with the other driver. This includes names, phone numbers, insurance information, and license plate numbers.
4. Take pictures of the accident scene, including the damage to the vehicles.
5. File a police report. This is especially important if there are injuries or significant property damage.
6. Contact your insurance company. They will help you file a claim and get the repairs done to your vehicle.
7. See a doctor if you have any injuries. Even if you feel fine, it's important to get checked out to make sure you don't have any hidden injuries.
8. Keep track of all of your expenses related to the accident. This includes medical bills, car repair bills, and any other costs that you incur as a result of the accident.
9. Get legal advice if you are not sure what to do. A lawyer can help you protect your rights and get the compensation that you deserve.
