Immediately after an accident, follow these steps:

1. Ensure safety - call 911 if anyone is injured

2. Document everything - Take photos of vehicles, damage, road conditions, and get witness contact information

3. Exchange information - Get driver's license, insurance, and vehicle registration details from all parties

4. Report to police - Required by law in Ontario for accidents with injuries or damage over $2,000

5. Seek medical attention - Even for minor injuries, as symptoms can appear days later

6. Contact your insurance company - Report the accident within 24 hours

7. Do NOT admit fault - Let insurance companies and police determine responsibility

8. Consult with a lawyer - When you're ready to discuss your legal options (multilingual services available)
