Persons Injured in an Auto Collision or other Aaccident

Do not drive without insurance. It is against the law and will limit the amount that you can recover in damages.
Exchange information with the other drive (drivers license, insurance, name, address and telephone number - cell number prefered)
Report the incident to your insurance company.
Do not discuss the facts of the incident with anyone until you obtain an attorney - Exception, Your Doctor, the Police and your Insurance Company.
Do NOT give a statement to the other driver's insurance company (until you have an attorney; your attorney has approved you giving such a statement and your attorney is present when you give the statement.)
Carry a camera in your car. Take photos showing the damage of your car and the other car including the undercarriage. Have the body shop and a mechanic check for hidden damage and have such damage documented by the body shop and a mechanic.
Take photos showing and documenting your injuries including bruising as soon as possible.
Seek appropriate medical care as soon as possible.
Retain an attorney.
