  3. As your New York car accident attorney will tell you, one of the biggest mistakes you can make in these cases is to not call the police. Even if it is a minor accident, you must call the police. You need to provide the officers with detailed and accurate information about the accident. You must also get a copy of the accident from the police so that you can keep it in your records.

  4. 2. CONFESSING FAULT
