Mitigate
Any and everything you can do to mitigate damages should be done. Make sure you have all relevant information, have key witnesses, or other information which can potentially mitigate or lessen your fault in the accident.
Because there are many issues which can occur in an accident, if the other driver was even distracted in the slightest, this can work for you, and can work in minimizing your fault in any accident where you believe (or know) you were at fault.
