After an accident you can expect to be disoriented and upset at the very least. It is a very traumatic experience, especially if you have been severely injured. It is very important to make sure that you are medically cared for first and foremost. After you have received the proper medical care, you need to get the name, address, phone number, insurance information and driver’s license number of the other party or parties involved in the accident. If there is any other information that you think is important, get that too. It is better to err on the side of caution.
