If you're involved in a motor vehicle accident, these are the guidelines you should follow:
- Always stop if you're involved in the accident.
- Never admit responsibility for what happened. You have a contract with your insurance company and it says that you must NOT assume liability for the accident, let your insurance company do the talking.
- Unless the motor vehicles are causing a major problem with traffic, try not to move them until the police gets to the scene.
- Contact the police.
- It's better to limit your conversation about the accident with the other party. You should only talk about the accident with the police, insurance representative and medical professionals.
