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. Get the police report number before you leave the scene. If an insurance company asks for a recorded statement, be careful about what you say and consider speaking with a lawyer first.
