What to Do After a Car Accident in Queenstown, Maryland
If you're involved in a collision, start by checking yourself and any passengers for injuries, then move to a safe spot if the vehicle is drivable. Call 911 so officers and medics can respond and document the scene. Even if injuries feel minor at first, it's worth getting checked by a medical provider soon after, since pain from whiplash or soft-tissue injuries can take a day or more to show up. Exchange information with the other driver, take photos of the vehicles and surroundings if it's safe to do so, and ask responding officers how to obtain a copy of the crash report for your records.
