If you are unfortunate enough to be in a vehicular collision, always remember these steps:
- Exchange contact, license, and insurance information with the other party, regardless of fault;
- Take several pictures of the scene;
- Contact the police or highway patrol if none show up;
- Collect the police report or file one if no police authority shows up;
- Report the incident to your insurance company within 24 hours of occurrence, regardless of fault;
- Contact an attorney who specializes in personal injury cases; and
- See a medical provider for a check-up!
