At the Scene

•	Determine if anyone has been injured and call an ambulance if necessary.
•	Assist injured persons but take care not to risk further injury.
•	Turn on flashers and set flares to warn others.
•	Move away from the accident scene to the closest safe location. Do not leave the scene entirely except for a medical emergency.
•	Call the police. The police may not fill out a report for a minor accident if no one is injured, but you should still make the call. A police officer can assist in calling a tow truck if needed, directing traffic, and can be a witness to the fact that no one was injured.
•	Obtain the following information from the other driver(s) and all passengers and witnesses: full name, address, and day and evening phone numbers.
•	Determine the name, address, and phone numbers of the owner of the other vehicle(s) if different. In such a case, the insurance on the vehicle usually takes precedence over the insurance of the driver.
•	Determine the insurance company name, phone number, and policy number for all other driver(s) and vehicle(s).
•	Obtain the police officer's name, department, and badge number.
•	Take pictures of the accident scene if you have a camera.
