Call 911, even if the accident seems minor. Officers from the Kansas City Police Department or the Missouri State Highway Patrol will respond. They will secure the accident scene and get help for the injured. They will also complete an accident report. Be sure to get medical attention, even if you seem to be fine. Some injuries such as concussions or internal bleeding can have delayed symptoms. If you are seriously hurt, you may be transported to Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City, St. Joseph Medical Center, North Kansas City Hospital, or University Health Lakewood Medical Center. Doctors can begin treatment and document your injuries.
Your next call, ideally before you talk to the insurance company, should be a car accident lawyer.
