What to Do After an Accident

Let's assume you've been in an accident. You should take the following steps:
First, make sure everyone is ok and call 911 for police and medical assistance. If there is an injury, make sure to get medical attention even if it isn't life-threatening.
Also, a police report can help resolve your auto insurance claim, so make sure to get it no matter what.
Next, if vehicles are movable and there is a shoulder on the road, try to move them there.
Finally, gather license plate numbers, contact information (don't forget phone numbers), auto insurance information, and if possible, take photographs of damages at the scene of the accident. If road conditions or weather were a factor, then try to capture that with a photograph.
