It's always scary to be in a car accident, but you can feel more prepared if you know the right steps to take as a driver. Ask each passenger and the other drivers if they're in pain and need medical attention. You may need to call 911 if someone is in physical distress and needs to be treated. You also have the option of calling the police to ensure they can arrive at the scene and file a report.

Take photos with your phone of all the damage. This will be necessary to have available because it'll allow the insurance companies to perform an investigation. Avoid making the mistake of admitting fault for the car accident. If you say sorry to the other drivers, it will immediately cause everyone to assume that you were responsible, even if you weren't the one to cause the crash.
