Once you have pulled over to the side of the road and have checked to make sure everyone is safe, there are some steps you can take that can help you immensely in any ensuing personal injury claim. You should be sure to get the contact and insurance information from other driver(s) in the accident. Then, take pictures of the damage done to all vehicles involved and of the accident site, and write down any notes about what you saw or experienced while it’s still fresh. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses, and get the number of the police report from the officer who arrives at the scene.
