Take a deep breath. Check to make sure everyone is safe and unharmed. In case of injuries, call 9-1-1; contact police if the accident is obscuring traffic, your insurance company requires a report, or even if you would just feel more comfortable with having them present
If possible, call your insurance company from the scene so they can walk you through the information they’ll need
Never admit liability (e.g. do not apologize to other drivers involved in the collision)
Never leave the scene until all matters are settled
Only move your vehicle if its position puts you in danger, or you’re asked by a police officer to do so
Give only necessary and requested information to police and other parties involved
If your vehicle is towed, know where it is taken, and the name and number of the towing service
Remove all valuables, insurance and registration documents form the vehicle
Collect the other driver’s name, address, phone number, driver’s license and insurance information; vehicle make, model, year and plate number; and names and numbers of witnesses
Choose a reputable repair facility
Read the estimate carefully, making sure you understand the work to be done
