I have just been involved in a Motor Vehicle Accident, what should I do?

First and foremost you should call for an ambulance and the police, it is important that anyone who has been injured seek medical attention immediately.  After you have called for an ambulance, write down the other car’s make, year and license plate number, they may try to leave the scene of the accident.

It is important to try to remain calm, and remember this was an accident.  When you try to approach the other driver they may also be injured or upset, calmly ask them for their name and insurance information and be prepared to give them your information as well.
