What to Do After a Car Accident in Lockport, NY
If you're involved in a crash on a busy road, move to a safe spot if you're able and turn on hazard lights to warn other traffic. Call 911 and wait for police and medical responders even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms show up hours later. Exchange information with the other driver, take photos of the vehicles and the scene if it's safe to do so, and get checked out by a doctor soon after, even without obvious injuries. Keep a copy of the police report for your records once it's available.
