Florida residents and tourists driving in Florida this winter might benefit from these quick no fault car accident reminders. If you are involved in a car accident in Florida, remember these 10 points:

1. Florida law requires you to stop if you are involved in a car accident. Driving away will only make matters worse.
2. Check yourself , others around you, and any other cars involved for injuries. Call Emergency Medical Services 911 if necessary.
3. Cars with minor damage need not block the roadways. If the cars are safe to move, do so. Take a few quick pictures if a digital camera or cell phone camera is available. Your pictures should capture the position of the cars on the roadway.
4. Call the police. Florida Highway Patrol can be reached using your cell phone if you dial *FHP  or *347.
5. It’s generally a good idea to not discuss the accident with others. Instead, discuss the accident with the police if necessary.
6. Seek immediate medical attention if you are injured, or think you might have been injured.
7. Notify your insurance company to report the accident. Your insurance company will explain what you will need to do next.
8. You will need a copy of the police report. Ask the police man or woman for their name and badge number to make finding them later easy.
9. Contact an attorney that specializes in Florida car accidents. This is not necessarily the last step. You will generally want to contact an attorney prior to giving any recorded or written statements and to learning your rights and responsibilities.
10. Complete your Auto Accident Report Form as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to remember important facts about the car accident. Contact your insurance company to obtain an auto accident report form.
