What to Do After a Car Accident

After a car crash, you should take the following steps:

Stop immediately.
Call 911 if anyone is injured.
Call the police.
Get names, addresses, telephone numbers, license plates, and driver’s license information from all drivers.
Get the contact information of any witnesses.
Take photos of the accident scene as well as any damage.
Write down information about what happened.
Notify your insurance company to file a claim.

Types of Car Accidents

Car accidents can happen in a number of ways. Here are the most common types to be aware of:

Rear-end crashes. These are the most common accidents. Drivers need to pay attention to the road and allow adequate distance between themselves and other vehicles. When they fail to do so, they may hit the rear of the vehicle in front of them. In these cases, the rear driver is typically the one at fault.
Side impact crashes. Also known as T-bone accidents, these crashes occur when a vehicle hits another vehicle on the side, at a perpendicular angle. The occupants of the hit vehicle may suffer significant injuries. These accidents tend to occur at intersections when a driver runs a stop sign or red light. Distractions, impairment, and reckless driving are common causes.
Rollover crashes. Rollovers often occur in SUVs and other vehicles with a high center of gravity. Hitting an object at a high speed or speeding around a curve are common causes. Rollovers can cause fires, causing burns and other serious injuries to those inside the vehicle.
Head-on crashes. While not as common as other accidents, they are one of the most deadly, especially if high speeds are involved. These crashes occur when the fronts of two vehicles collide. They often occur due to distracted driving, improper passing, speeding, and intoxication.
