FAQ

If I am involved in an auto accident, do I have to stop my vehicle?
Yes.  According to the law, you must stop your vehicle after an accident has occurred so you can evaluate the situation.  When you stop, you can also see if there was any property damage or if people have been injured.

What should I do if someone is injured?
If you're involved in a motor vehicle accident and someone is injured, you are required by law to give reasonable assistance.  This means that you should call police or 911 if you see that someone has been harmed.  You should also try to alert other drivers and keep traffic away from the injured person.

After an accident, what information should I take down?
After you have been involved in an accident with another person, you should take down that person's name, phone number, address, license plate number and insurance information.  If there were witnesses, you should take down their names, phone numbers and addresses, too.   Another thing you may want to do is to take pictures of the scene of the accident and the vehicles that were involved.  You can use your cell phone or another type of camera if you have one on hand.

Should I contact a lawyer after a motor vehicle accident?
