The
first thing you should do when you are involved in a car accident is

I agree, I cannot stress the importance of documentation especially in regards to medical records.
Another thing, if you do get involved in a car accident, you really have to make sure that you see a doctor.
Aside from helping your case, seeing a doctor also ensures that you did not suffer any hidden injuries that would have gone unnoticed if you never got yourself checked up.
