Driver's license number of other driver(s) involved in the accident
Insurance information of other driver(s) involved in the accident, name of insurance company, policy number

If any of the other drivers appears to be on the job for a company, get the name of that company
Passengers in other vehicles? Get their names, addresses, phone numbers
Actual location of accident (street, intersection, exact address, if possible)
Witness information: Names, addresses, phone numbers
Jot down basic information such as weather conditions, street condition, traffic (light, medium, heavy), time of day that accident happened
Keep a camera in your car at all times (disposable is just fine). Take pictures of the cars, people, scene.
Very Important: Do not speak to anyone other than your doctor(s) without the advice of an attorney. In particular, DO NOT give a statement to any insurance company, recorded or not, without the advice of an attorney.
