What should you do after a car accident?

Obtain prompt medical attention, for yourself and any injured parties. If you or a loved one is seriously injured, call for a paramedics and an ambulance. When you body has been traumatized by a car crash, many times your injuries may not be apparent right away.

Based on their investigation and the statements of those involved and the independent witnesses, the police will determine the cause of the accident and the parties responsible. However, many times people involved are not entirely truthful in their statements, or the witnesses did not actually see the accident and their statements may not reflect the actual occurrences that lead to the accident.
