What to do if you’re hit in a car accident

Hopefully, you won’t experience an auto accident, but with thousands of car accidents in Houston every week, we want to make sure you and your loved ones are prepared in case of an unfortunate highway accident.
Remember: just because you’re a safe driver doesn’t mean others are!
Here are the most important things to do if you’re hit and injured in a Houston car accident:
1. Assess the situation
After the initial shock of a collision, asses your surroundings and how to best handle the situation. Is anyone injured? Are you and the other car in the middle of a busy freeway or in a blind spot area where other cars could hit you?
1.a If you and/or your passengers are not injured:
1. Take a picture or write down the other car’s license plate.
2. Move your vehicle to the side of the road.
