What to Do After a Car Accident in Salisbury, MD
Anyone involved in a crash should move to a safe spot if possible and check themselves and others for injuries before doing anything else. Call 911 even for what seems like a minor collision, since some injuries don't show symptoms right away. Getting checked by a medical provider soon after the crash creates a record that can matter later, whether for insurance or follow-up care. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver, and if police respond, ask how to obtain a copy of the official report once it's filed.
