If you must move your car, you can take some quick pictures to show how the accident looked right after it happened.

Thirdly, if you are hurt, let the officer know you are hurt. An officer can call an ambulance for you, if you need it or he can note you are taking yourself to the hospital. If you are hurt you need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

Fourthly, report the accident to your insurance company. Your insurance policy requires you to notify them promptly of how, when and where the accident occurred. It is important for your company to review the information and inform you of what coverage may be beneficial to you based on your report. Failure to notify your insurance company could result in a denial of some of those coverages.

These suggestions are just a few simple things you can do to take control after an accident and hopefully alleviate some of the stress in handling the matters involved in your automobile accident.
