1) Remain calm. A cool head makes better decisions. It’s easy to get upset, but being upset can’t undo what just happened.

2) Write the other vehicles license plate down in case of a drive-off.

a) According to Crime Analysis Officer Kent Kaylor of the Bismarck Police Department: Of the 7685 accidents that occurred between 2010 and the end of 2011, 946 drivers did not have any insurance.

b) According to Mandan Police Deputy Chief Paul Leingang, during the same time, Mandan experienced 822 accidents and of those 114 motorists were uninsured.
 
3) Call 911

4) Remain at the accident site until the police arrive.

5) Don’t admit fault, and do not discuss your accident with anyone except your insurance agent or the police.

6) Exchange information.

7) Report the accident to your insurance company promptly.

8) Remember YOU do have a choice where your collision repair work is completed.
