If you are in an accident, the first thing you should do is take a deep breath. It’s okay to be shaken up and scared, but don’t panic. The next step is to call 911 or your local emergency number if there isn’t any cell phone service available. After that, check on your passengers and make sure they are safe before calling for help again. If someone is seriously injured, then it’s important not to move them unless they are in a dangerous spot where they could get hit by another car or object.
It is essential to stay calm and think as clearly as possible about what came before the accident. Consider doing your best to find witnesses. If you can, take pictures of the cars involved or any damage that occurred during the crash.
The next step after calling 911 is submitting a police report. You should do this even if there are no injuries and everyone is just shaken up. This report will also let you get your insurance company involved. You should go to the hospital and be evaluated.
