What to Do After a Car Accident in Lockport, NY
If you're involved in a two-car crash, start by checking yourself and any passengers for injuries before stepping out of the vehicle. Call 911 even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms, like whiplash or internal bruising, can take hours to appear.
