Steps after a crash
Check for immediate danger

Report the crash
Give the responding officer a factual account. Ask for the report number and the agency’s instructions for getting a copy.
Exchange details
Record driver names, contact details, vehicle information and insurance details. Ask willing witnesses for a way to reach them.
Capture the scene safely
Photograph damage, vehicle positions, signs and road conditions from a safe place. Note the street, intersection and approximate time.
Arrange medical care
Seek prompt care for injuries or new symptoms. Explain that you were in a crash and keep the visit summary and treatment instructions.
Notify your insurer
Report the crash promptly under your policy. Keep your claim number and ask what documents the insurer needs. Save copies of what you send.
Build a follow-up folder
Collect the crash report, medical bills, repair estimates and missed-work records. Add dates and notes so you can explain the timeline clearly.
