What steps should I follow immediately after a car accident?

Being in a car accident can be scary and confusing. If you are in a car accident, the first steps include: checking yourself or any passengers for injuries; call for emergency assistance/police if there are any signs of possible injury; collect the information of any other parties to the accident (in particular, their names and insurance information); if there are any signs of injury, seek out medical assistance right away and contact your own insurance company to notify them of the accident.
