If you get in a crash, you must stop. If you leave, that's known as a "hit and run," and might be a felony. This includes hitting property, animals or pedestrians. Also, stay calm. <li>Call for help. If someone is injured, call 911. If not, your first call should then be to the police. The police will advise as to whether the crashed vehicles should be moved out of traffic, and will take statements from the drivers and passengers involved. <li>Call your insurer. As soon as you are able, call and file an accident report. You should also notify the other driver's insurer of the accident. <li>Don't sign anything. If an insurance adjuster shows up at the scene, don't give any statements and don't sign anything. <li>Gather information. Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of everyone at the scene, especially witnesses. <li>Go see your doctor. You may have injuries of which you're unaware. If you are examined by a doctor, make sure you are specific in explaining how the accident happened and any and all injuries and problems you sustained as a result. <li> <div>Call Hardison & Associates. If you've been injured, you may want a lawyer to make sure you receive a fair settlement from the insurance company. Also, proving to another driver's insurer that its policyholder caused the accident might require the services of an attorney. </div></li></li></li></li></li></li></li></ul> Call us at 1(800) 434-8399 to protect your rights.CW team
