Always take photographs of the damage done to your vehicle and the other side’s car. Call the police and file a police report. If the police won’t come, go to the police station and file a report there. Keep copies of all your medications and take notes of all the treatment you received. Save your cast (if you have one) and keep all your pill containers. Do not talk to the other side’s insurance company or post anything on social media.
