What Should I Do After a Crash on a Delaware Road?

After any crash, call 911 so officers can document the scene and file a report. 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. If an insurance company asks for a recorded statement, be careful, and consider speaking with someone before you answer questions.
