A car accident is something that is never meant to be taken lightly. There are several issues to worry about such as what you will do for money while you are recovering? What will you do if you have to miss work? When you have been injured in a car accident and are not sure what to do, you need to have someone in which you can lean on.

Here are 4 important aspects to know should you be involved in a car accident:

1. Immediately call 911 as they will handle getting police to the scene, have an EMS squad sent should their be serious injuries. Even if you believe that you are fine, it is always good to have an exam at a hospital, and follow up if treatment is needed.
2. Be sure to document the entire accident. This means that you should get the name and number of everyone who was involved in the accident, as well as those who have witnessed the accident. You should also take pictures of the vehicles involved, and document what happened from your perspective, and be sure to write down any injuries that you may be experiencing. This information is going to help support your claim should you have to go to court.
3. Always wait for the police to get there, even if there are no injuries and there is no significant damage to the vehicles. You can pull your vehicles to the shoulder or out of the way of traffic if possible.
