What to Do After a Car Accident in Manchester, NH
If you're involved in a crash in Manchester, start by checking yourself and others for injuries and moving to a safe spot if possible. Call 911 so police can respond and file an official report, which matters even if damage looks minor. Make sure to exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver, and take photos of the vehicles, the road, and any visible injuries while details are fresh. Even if you feel fine at the scene, it's worth getting checked by a doctor in the following day or two, since some injuries like whiplash or concussions don't show symptoms right away. Keep copies of any medical records, repair estimates, and the police report number for your own files.
