If you have been in an accident, the best lawyers will advise clients to follow these ten basic rules after an accident.

  1. Report the accident to the police and/or your employer immediately.
  2. Obtain the name, address, phone number and insurance information from the responsible party.
  3. Obtain the names, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses to the accident.
  4. Have photographs taken of your injuries, the scene of the accident, and the vehicle or machine you were operating at the time of the accident.
  5. Call your insurance agent to report the accident.
