What documents and details should be collected from a client who was involved in a minor traffic accident where fault lies with a friend and no immediate injuries were reported?
Collect the license plate number of the vehicle, the exact date and time of the accident, identification and documents of the injured party, and emergency room (Pronto Soccorso) medical documentation. If the client did not initially seek medical care because they felt no pain, instruct them to visit the hospital, report neck pain, and confirm they were wearing a seatbelt.
