What do I do after a Car Accident?
7 Actions to Take Immediately After a Motor Vehicle Accident

4. Exchange only licenses, registration and insurance information.
5. Write down the name, address, driver’s license number, date of birth, sex and phone number of all other drivers involved.
6. Write down the name, address, and insurance company information for all the vehicles involved.
7. Be sure to write down the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any witnesses.
