If a person is involved in a traffic accident, the first thing to do is to make all parties are free from injury. If not, an ambulance needs to be called. The drivers involved in the accident will need to exchange information, as well. Pictures of the accident and any witness statements will also be beneficial. It is also likely that tow services will be required to remove the vehicles from the road.

What are the steps to take when one has been in a minor car accident?
The steps when one has been in a minor car accident where there are no injuries and minimal-to-no damage to both vehicles are still fairly similar to the steps involved in a major car accident. Drivers should turn on the hazard lights on their cars. Make sure to note the characteristics and license number of the other vehicle(s) involved. The police should be called immediately, even if nobody is injured and there is no major damage to either vehicle, because the insurance companies often look for a police report. Both drivers should attempt to move their car to the shoulder or off of the major road to avoid traffic congestion or further damage to either vehicle, but only if it is possible, safe, and very close.
