What to Do After a Car Accident in Georgia: At the Scene of the Accident

Immediately after you have been injured in an accident, you might be surprised and confused, and your judgment may not be optimal. Your first priority should be your health and that of your passengers. Be sure to call 911 and wait for help to arrive. Do not refuse medical treatment, even if your injuries appear to be minor.

Next, you should do the following, in no particular order:

gather evidence;
get contact information from witnesses;
be careful of what you say; and
get a police report.

Evidence should be gathered as quickly as possible before the accident scene changes or your memory fades. Hold onto torn clothing, important documents and broken equipment. If your injuries are preventing you from gathering evidence, ask a family member or friend to help. You will need photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage and visible injuries. Make sure the photographs are taken from multiple angles.
