Being involved in a car collision can be a stressful and confusing experience, but there are some important steps you should take to make sure everything is handled properly. If you’re ever unsure about what to do after a collision, don’t hesitate to reach out us for guidance and support. We’re here to help you every step of the way.
First, it’s important to stay at the scene until it’s safe to leave. If anyone is injured, call 911 immediately.
Then, exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver(s) involved in the accident. Make sure to get their full name, phone number, insurance company and policy number.
Next, document the scene by taking photos of the damage to both vehicles and the surrounding area, as well as any road signs or traffic signals. If there are any witnesses, make sure to get their contact information.
After that, report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible. They will start the claims process and help you determine the next steps.
If you’re injured, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you feel okay. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
Finally, keep detailed records of all expenses related to the accident, including medical bills, repair bills, and lost wages. This information will be important if there are any claims or lawsuits that result from the collision.
REMEMBER:
You choose your repair shop, not the insurance company. It is the law.
