What Should I Do After a Car Accident in Millsboro, DE?

Call 911 first so police and medics can respond and a report can be started. Even if you feel fine, it is a good idea to see a doctor, since some injuries do not show symptoms right away. If you are able, take photos of the vehicles and the scene, get the names of anyone involved, and write down the crash report number once it is available. Keep any medical bills or records that come from the visit. Be cautious about giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you have had time to think it through.
