What Should I Do After a Bus-Related Crash in Wilmington, DE?

Call 911 first so police and medical help can reach the scene, even if injuries seem minor. Get checked out by a doctor, since some injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Take photos of the vehicles and the area around them, get the names of anyone involved, and ask for the report number from police. Keep any bills or records connected to the crash, and be careful about giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before you understand your situation in Wilmington.
