A car accident can be a stressful and terrifying event. It's
important that you know what to do, and that you document relevant
information at the accident scene, so you can protect your
interests going forward. Here is a list of "WHAT TO DO"
if you are involved in a car accident. You might want to consider
keeping this information in your vehicle for easy reference.
1. STOP!! The law requires
you to stop your vehicle at the scene of the accident no matter how
minor. Failure to do so can result in prosecution with monetary
penalties, demerit points, and in severe circumstances, your
driver's license can be suspended and you can be
imprisoned.
