What to do after an accident might seem obvious.
However, these few tips may help you think more clearly when the unfortunate happens.
Contrary to popular belief, after the police or 911, and your loved ones, your insurance company is NOT the next call you should make.
The safety of you, your passengers, and anyone else involved in the accident, should be your first priority.
