What should I do if I am involved in a car accident?

A: First, you should seek proper medical attention. If you are conscious at the scene, collect all pertinent information from the other drivers (i.e. driver’s license numbers, address, phone number, insurance card information, etc.). Make sure to keep a daily journal beginning with the date of the accident to document all physical and mental injuries, as well as document your view of the accident.
