 | Always stop your vehicle, as soon as it is safe to do so, no matter how
slight the impact and no matter who is at fault. Leaving the scene of
an accident is a serious offense. |
| Do whatever is safe and possible to alert oncoming traffic to any
obstructions in the roadway and make sure to call the police. |
| If there are injuries to anyone involved, assist by contacting an
ambulance. Do not try to render medical assistance to any victim if
you are not trained to do so. |
| It is important to exchange information with the other operators involved
in the accident, including names, drivers' licenses, and insurance
information. |
| Get the names and addresses of passengers in the vehicles as well as those
of anyone who may have witnessed the collision. |
| You should make no comments regarding the accident, admit nothing, and
sign nothing. |
| If you have a camera available, and your injuries permit you to do so,
take photos of the vehicles involved and the location. |
| Seek emergency medical attention whenever necessary. |
| Notify your insurance company of the accident as soon as practical. |
| Contact the law firm of Gertel & Feld. We have the
experience you need to get through your ordeal. |
