After an Accident What to Do

(1.)Determine that you are
okay and that you or your vehicle
is not in imminent danger of becoming
struck by any vehicles.
(2) Call 911. Check if
anyone has been
injured and be able
to describe the location
of the accident,
what vehicles are involved
and whether
the accident is blocking
the flow of traffic.
(3) Avoid moving seriously injured people.
Under Texas Law, reasonable assistance
must be given to injured people including
arrangements for transportation to medical
assistance if necessary.
(4) Move Your Vehicle out of the roadway if
possible to prevent further damage and not
block traffic. Turn on your hazard lights to
alert other drivers.
(5) Exchange Information and take lots of
notes. Fill in the blanks

make sure you get information
for each car and
every person. Take pictures
of all damage and
injuries if possible.
(6) Contact your insurance company. The
insurance company’s phone number will be
on your liability insurance card.
