Accident Instructions<\/H1><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"red\">&#10102;<\/font> <strong>Take Safety Precautions and Protect Yourself from Further Danger<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Be sure that you, and anyone else in the vehicle with you, are safe and away from oncoming traffic.\u00a0 If the vehicle still drives, pull it to the side of the road.\u00a0 If it does not, walk away from the car and get off of the road as soon as possible to avoid getting hit.\u00a0 If you are in a situation where you cannot exit the vehicle due to safety (such as a cliff or ravine), clasp your seat belt and remain in the car until emergency services arrive.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"red\">&#10102;<\/font> <strong>Make an Accident Report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If there is someone that is seriously injured in the accident, call 911 immediately.\u00a0 Otherwise, proceed to call the police.\u00a0 Your local police station will dispatch officers to make a police report of the accident, as well as, emergency vehicles in case of minor injuries.\u00a0 Be ready to give general information to the police, such as name, phone number, description of the accident, persons involved in the accident, location, and the health status of each individual in your party.\u00a0 Once this information is passed along, the operator will give you further instruction and may even stay on the line with you until their units arrive.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"red\">&#10102;<\/font> <strong>Write Down a Detailed Description of the Accident Scene<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you are waiting for emergency and police services to arrive, begin taking detailed notes of the scene of the accident.\u00a0 Write down everything you remember from the start of the accident to the finish.\u00a0 This allows you to recall particular details of the incident later on without any trouble.\u00a0 It can help when filing insurance claims and the police report as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Car Accident Towing in Indianapolis<\/h2>\n<p><div
