What to Do After a Car Accident in Springettsbury Township, PA
If you're involved in a crash, move to a safe spot if possible and check yourself and others for injuries before doing anything else. Call 911 even if injuries seem minor, since some symptoms, like concussions or internal bruising, can take hours to show up.
Exchange information with other drivers and try to note details while they're fresh, such as the time, weather, and how traffic was moving. Seeing a doctor promptly, even after a seemingly small impact, creates a medical record that can matter later and helps catch injuries that aren't obvious right away.
