  3. Take photographs of the accident scene, the vehicles involved and any damage to any of the vehicles.
  4. Provide the police with a detailed description of the collision and your injuries. Request an ambulance if necessary.
  5. Seek immediate medical attention. Provide all doctors with a detailed description of the collision and all of your injuries.
  6. Take photographs of any bodily injuries, including cuts, scratches and bruising.
  7. Keep a detailed record of all doctor appointments, injuries, symptoms, lost income and out of pocket expenses.
