The moments after a car accident are confusing, and what you do in the first few days can matter later on. If you've been hurt, here are four steps worth taking:
1. Get checked by a doctor, even if you feel fine. Some injuries don't show up right away, and a medical record helps document what happened.
2. Photograph the scene, both vehicles and any visible injuries, and write down the names and contact details of witnesses.
3. Get a copy of the police report.
4. Talk with a lawyer before you give a recorded statement to any insurance company.
