If you are in a car accident, the first thing you should do is make sure you and anyone else involved are okay and in a safe location. When possible, pull over to the side of the road before getting out of your car. If anyone is hurt make sure someone calls emergency services.

After you have made sure everyone is okay, you'll want to look at the damage to all vehicles involved. Take photos and notes of all damage. Exchange insurance information and contact your insurance company as soon as possible.
