Move to safety if you can do so carefully.

Save driver names, phone numbers, license plates, insurance cards, and vehicle details.
Take photos and short videos.
Capture damage, injuries, road conditions, skid marks, signs, signals, and the wider scene.
Write down witness information.
Names and phone numbers can matter if fault is disputed later.
Get medical care quickly.
Delayed pain, headaches, dizziness, numbness, or stiffness should be documented.
Start an accident folder.
Keep the police report number, medical records, bills, receipts, insurance messages, and repair estimates.
Be careful with recorded statements.
Stick to facts and avoid guessing about fault, injuries, or long-term recovery.
