What Should I Do After a Crash on a Delaware Road?
After a crash, call 911 so police and medical help can respond. Even if you feel fine, get checked by a doctor, since some injuries do not show symptoms right away. Take photos of the vehicles, the road, and any visible damage or injuries. Get the police report number before you leave the scene. If an insurance adjuster calls asking for a recorded statement, you do not have to give one right away, and you should think carefully before answering their questions.
