3.  Exchange basic information, such as names, car insurance information, contact information and license information.  Also, explain to the investigating officer what happened, but do not speculate on the cause of the accident and admit no fault.

4.  Do not give a statement to anyone, expect for the investigating officer.

5.  Document everything about the accident scene, including information such as weather conditions, traffic conditions, name and contact information, the names of law enforcement officers at the scene and any witnesses to the accident.  Also, take pictures of the accident scene.

6.  If you did not receive medical treatment immediately following the accident, seek medical treatment as soon as you can.

7.  Request a copy of the accident report.
