Immediately after an accident, your safety and health should be your first priority. If you are capable, move to a safe location and call 911 to report the accident. Seek immediate medical attention, even if you think your injuries are minor, as some symptoms may not appear immediately. Document the accident as thoroughly as possible, taking pictures or videos of the scene, your injuries, and any damage to property. Gather information from the other party involved and any witnesses, including names, contact information, insurance details, and vehicle information. Avoid discussing fault at the scene. Lastly, as soon as you are able, consult with a personal injury attorney to understand your rights and potential next steps.
