What To Do If You’ve Been Hurt

If you’ve been in a car or truck accident:

• Call 911. Request that police come to the scene, and request an ambulance take you the hospital so you can be evaluated/seek medical assistance.  It is not a good idea to wait and see if you are okay or go in a private car to the hospital.  Go in an ambulance.  You need to be in the care of trained medical professionals

• As soon as you are physically able to, write down as much detail as you can remember about the accident

• Ask anyone you know who may have witnessed the accident or who has information relevant to the accident to write a detailed account

• Obtain a copy of the police report when it is completed a few days later
