Auto Accident - First Steps
Call the Police

Call the Police


While different states have different laws about when the police need to be called to the scene of a car accident, it is advisable, even if an accident is minor, to contact the police. The police are trained to deal with the aftermath of an auto accident, regardless of how small, and will ensure that matters proceed properly. If the accident is serious, involving property damage, physical injury, or death, calling the police is essential. When the officers arrive, you should ask that a report be filed, and you should obtain the names and badge numbers of all officers on the scene. It is important to remember that even if you don’t call the police, someone else might. Most people have cell phones, and while they might not stop to help, they may alert the police if they see an accident. Make sure that when the police arrive you are prepared to give them your license, registration, insurance information, and phone number, as well as answer any questions they might have.
