After a car accident, there are key details you should exchange with the other driver to protect yourself legally and financially. Start by gathering their full name, phone number, and address. Next, ask for their driver's license number and note down the issuing state. Exchange insurance details, including the company name and policy number. If the other vehicle isn't theirs, get the owner's contact information as well. Additionally, write down the make, model, color, and license plate number of their vehicle. Taking photos of the damage, the accident scene, and any road signs or signals is also helpful. Lastly, if there are witnesses, try to collect their contact information. For further guidance and medical support following an accident, car accident help services like 388CEDA can provide essential resources, including injury documentation and access to experienced attorneys.
