If you've been in a car accident in Ransomville, NY, the first thing to do is assess your injuries. If there are any visible wounds, clean them with soap and water from a reliable source and cover them with sterile gauze pads.

Next, call 911 for emergency services if anyone is seriously injured or has stopped breathing. If no one needs medical attention yet but you're concerned about the severity of your injury, contact your doctor before leaving the scene of the accident. If the accident is minor and you're not injured, exchange information with the other party if you have it. If you don't have a pen, ask if they do before handing them yours so that someone doesn't accidentally use theirs to write down incorrect information.

If there are any witnesses, get their contact info as well. You should also write down a description of what happened and where it occurred.

If you have any photos or videos from your phone, take them to show the police later if need be. While there aren't many cars that have dash cams installed in them, this is still something worth bringing along to show the officer who arrives on the scene.
