What to Do After a Car Accident in Newnan, GA
If you're involved in a crash in Newnan, check yourself and any passengers for injuries before stepping out of the vehicle, and try to move to a safe spot if the car is blocking traffic. Call 911 to report the crash and request medical help if anyone feels hurt, even if the injury seems minor at first. Exchange contact and insurance information with other drivers, and take photos of the vehicles, the road, and any visible damage if it's safe to do so.

Keep a copy of the police report for your records once it becomes available.
