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

Call 911 first so police and medics can reach you, then get checked by a doctor even if you feel fine. Photograph the vehicles, the roadway, and any visible damage before things are moved. Get the police report number for your records, and keep any medical bills or repair estimates together. If an insurance adjuster calls, be careful about giving a recorded statement until you understand what you are agreeing to. These steps help protect your health and your rights after any crash in Middletown.
