Steps to Take with Uninsured Motorist Accidents
Just as in any other accident, there are certain steps you can take to ease the reception of compensation for damages and injuries. These are a few guidelines you should follow:

1. Check to make sure no one is injured, including occupants of your car.
2. Call a police officer to the vehicle accident scene. It is best to use a cell phone if there are not any officers around.
3. Immediately write down important information from the other driver including the driver license and license plate numbers plus how to get in contact with them.
4. If they are carrying an expired insurance card, write down what company and when the card expired.
5. If you have a camera close by, take pictures of the damage to both cars, skid marks on road, and of the surroundings. Remember that your phone may have a camera.
6. If the uninsured motorist leaves, note the make and model of the car and the license plate number.
