First, take a look around and determine whether or anyone else is hurt. If so, take action and try to prevent further injury or blood loss are the thing most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver was to be injured, it is good manners to help the other driver if injured. They may even be so grateful recognition of his guilt to you. The worst thing you can do is to get angry or start a fight.

Second, make sure everyone is safe being wounded. If you are in traffic, and feels dizzy, sit away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have a accident warning devices such as flares or triangles, set out to warn other drivers and leave the car. That the police emergency personnel investigate other the scene with the vehicle in place and move more safely at a later time.

Third, call the police. Reports Accidents are extremely helpful if the police make a report. Let the police know who is injured immediately. Answer police questions honestly. But if you are dizzy or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and only answer what he feels safe. Remember, your statements can be and will be used against you if you admit guilt, and it will be too late and too fishy to say later that you did not know what you said at the scene. The police know that his best memory is immediately after an accident.

Fourth, the other driver's information including their names, addresses, driver's license numbers, make and model of your vehicle, license plate numbers, and name the insurance company and policy number. If there are witnesses, their names, addresses and phone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of guilt, write them well.

Fifth Instead, if you have a camera in your cell phone or car and is not badly injured, take some pictures of the vehicles and the scene. If you can not do immediately after they are discharged.

Sixth, if you are injured, medical treatment. No decrease in ambulance or the hospital to save the test, your insurance company or money to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and medical checkups in hospital. If you are injured, not treated do not need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel an adrenaline rush that causes you to start to feel pain only symptoms of an hour later. If you have a health plan that requires to get permission first to phone and find out where is allowed to seek treatment.

A Bicycle Accident lawyer can save you from making good a lot of mistakes and can take much the trouble to know what to do about car repairs, car rental, medical treatment, witness statements, etc.. If you think you will save money by not having a lawyer, think again. A good bicycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much greater settlements, to obtain reductions in medical expenses and insurance Mortgage and prevents you from making costly mistakes. In addition, most bicycle accident lawyers costs before obtaining police reports, records doctors and the like and are paid and the reimbursement of these expenses only way out of any solution.

Eight, you must report the accident your insurance company, but any time you want to take a recorded statement from you, like any insurance company of another driver, is good advice to a lawyer first. And if the other driver had no insurance, remember that your own insurance company will be his opponent.

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never resolved in your favor. No undertakes not to call the police. Police reports that determine the guilt of an accident are gold. Their agreement not to involve the police can only be an occasion for the other driver to change his story and the blame when the police do not investigate the accident.
