Important steps to follow after a road traffic accident

Here are some important tips on what to do post-accident: • Make a note of the other party’s details such as name, insurance information, vehicle registration number, etc. • Call the nearest police station immediately. Later you can personally visit and report the details of the accident. • Take photographs of the scene of the accident, and request some of the witnesses to report details of the accident to the police. • If you are injured then seek medical attention immediately. Keep the medical expenses and records carefully with you as they will prove to be strong evidences in court. The insurance information of the other party helps in filing your claim. Similarly, police reports and medical bills are useful if the guilty party denies the incident completely. And finally, the statements of the witnesses aid to strengthen your position during the claim process.
