• Stop. If you get in a crash, you must stop. If you leave, you will be committing a crime knows as a “hit and run”. You must stop if you hit property, animals or pedestrians. Remain calm. • Call for help. If someone is injured, call 911. If not, your first call should then be to the police. The police will advise as to whether the crashed vehicles should be moved out of traffic, and will take statements from the drivers and passengers involved. • Call your insurer. As soon as you are able, call and file an accident report. You should also notify the other driver’s insurer of the accident. • Don’t sign anything. If an insurance adjuster shows up at the scene, do not give any statements and do not sign anything. • Gather information. Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of everyone at the scene, especially witnesses. • Go see your doctor. You may have injuries of which you’re unaware. If you are examined by a doctor, make sure you are specific in explaining how the accident happen
