What are the steps to take after a car accident?

After a minor accident, the first thing to do is to turn on the vehicle's hazard warning lights and set up a hazard warning sign behind the car to prevent rear-end collisions. After setting up the warning sign, the next step is to preliminarily determine the responsibility of both parties involved in the accident. If an agreement cannot be reached, it is necessary to call the police and wait for the traffic police to determine liability. For photos, you need one panoramic photo that shows the location of the accident and several close-up photos of the parts of the vehicles that came into contact. After taking photos, check the other party's driver's license and vehicle documents, which include the license plate, annual inspection, vehicle registration certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance. After completing the above steps, both parties can call their respective insurance companies to report the accident, including the time it occurred.
