After a car accident, it's usually best to call the police, especially if there's any chance the other driver may dispute what happened or refuse to pay for the damage.
A police report can help document the scene and preserve important information. If you cannot wait for police, be sure to take photos of the other driver's license, insurance card, license plate, and the damage to both vehicles.
Gathering evidence early can make a big difference in protecting your rights after a New Jersey car accident.
