You should call the police every time that you are in a car accident and request that they come to the accident scene and make a report. They may tell you that they will not come unless you need a tow truck or have an injury. Therefore, if you are having any symptoms at the scene, report those when calling the police, and they should send out an officer to take a report. Do not assume that the person who just admitted causing the accident will maintain that responsibility. Often their story will change if no one is there to put the blame on them.

To become a member, a trial attorney must be invited, sponsored by an existing member, and approved by at least 75% of the chapter's membership. To qualify, all members must have tried numerous civil cases before a jury to conclusion with a verdict. Todd Bissell was honored with an invitation to join ABOTA and has held an Associate status with their Sacramento Valley Chapter since 2007.
