Creating an accident record is always necessary. Making a record of the accident will make filing insurance, as well as consulting a collision center, much easier. There are a total of four things you should keep a record of after an accident:

• Damages
  Take pictures or videos of the damage to all vehicles involved. This way, there is solid proof of the damages caused to each vehicle, just in case, there are any discrepancies between drivers, as well as for personal records and insurance.
• License
  Exchanging photos of each other’s licenses is a good way to prove presence on-scene and to attain all the required information from other drivers. Make note of the other car(s) make, model, and year. Exchanging contact information at this point is also suggested.
• Insurance
  You must get the insurance information of the person(s) involved to solidify a contract with them, even if they fail to respond to you. This is also a good practice as it ensures that the other driver(s) has insurance and can cover the resulting costs.
• Conditions
  Write down all the conditions of the crash. Was it sunny? Were the roads visible? Where did the accident take place, and at what time? All of these questions have informative answers, and each should be written down and provided to your insurance provider, collision center, and the police if need be.

Once all of your information has been collected, make your way to a collision reporting center. To get to the collision reporting center, you shouldn’t drive in your freshly-crashed car. Instead, look for a drive from a friend or an Uber. As for your car, it should be towed to the collision center by a tow truck. This can prevent further damage and additional accidents.
