If you are injured, call the police. Having a police report will definitely help your accident claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Seek medical attention. It is very important to have documentation of all your medical injuries to help prove the damages you suffered due to the Postmates accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. If possible, take photos at the accident scene (showing damage to cars, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Get information from the other drivers involved (license, insurance, registration, address, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Take down witness information so you can contact them later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Contact a car accident lawyer for a free consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7.
