What
should you do if you are in an accident?
You should
obtain as much correct and complete information as possible at the
accident scene (it will be much more difficult to get vital
information later). We have compiled a list of 7 groups of items
you should obtain at the accident scene:
- Driver's name, address, date of birth,
telephone number, driver's license number, driver's license
expiration date, and insurance company name and phone number.
- Vehicle's make, year, model, license
plate number, reg. expiration date, and vehicle identification
number.
- Names, addresses, telephone numbers and
insurance companies of the other vehicle's legal and
registered owners (if the driver is not the owner).
- Names, addresses, and telephone numbers
of any passengers in the other vehicle.
- Names, addresses and telephone numbers of
witnesses to the accident. Ask them to stay to talk to the CHP
or police. If they cannot stay, ask them to explain to you
what they saw and if possible write everything down.
- Identify people at the accident scene,
even if they will not give you their contact info. If someone
saw the accident and leaves the scene, you should make a note
of his or her vehicle's license plate number. Law officials
can trace the owner's name and address.
- Names and badge numbers of any law
officer who came to the accident scene. Ask the officer where
and when you can get a copy of the accident report. Make a
simple diagram of the accident. Make a diagram of the accident
scene on paper, make notes of traffic conditions, weather,
time of day, and any objects such as traffic lights and signs
that might be in the area. Also if you have a camera, take
pictures of the scene. Get
