license, license plate number, and car registration and car insurance card. The more information you have, the better prepared you will be if you need to take a claim to court. See a doctor. Even if you don’t notice any injuries right away, symptoms can show up days after your accident. Typically people go to the doctor in the first 48 hours, otherwise it can be more difficult to prove that your condition is related to the accident. Going to the doctor immediately can help you get the right treatment and reduce complications later. DAYS Don’t admit fault. You may be contacted by an insurance agent and asked to make a statement about the accident. It’s tempting to apologize for what happened or to take blame, but these types of statements can put your claim at risk. Avoid giving any statements that could be taken as admitting fault, including to other people

Keep any receipts from seeing doctors, chiropractors, or other professionals for treatment related to your accident.
