THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO AFTER AN ACCIDENT
The most important thing to do is to call 911 after your involvement in an auto accident. It is also important to be conscious of not implicating yourself in an accident. Tell the police exactly what happened. Do not say more than you need to. Do not speculate or guess. Do not sign anything other than the police report. Do not speak to the other driver’s insurance company. Do not apologize or admit guilt to anyone. Sometimes saying sorry can be used against you when the case is being negotiated on your behalf by legal counsel.
