After a vehicle collision, the first thing to do is ensure you are safe. If you can, move your vehicle to a secure location away from traffic. You’ll also want to turn the hazard lights on to alert other drivers.
Make sure also to check yourself and your passengers for injuries and, if necessary, call emergency services immediately.
Next, contact the police and report the incident. They will ask you about the incident and then create an official report. This could be vital for insurance claims and legal purposes.
While waiting for the police to arrive, use this time to gather all the information you’ll need to submit an insurance claim. Make sure to obtain the following:
Additionally, if there are any witnesses, ask for their contact information.
To support your insurance claim, document the accident scene thoroughly. Take pictures of the damaged vehicles from various angles and capture the vehicles’ position and any skid marks.
Also, photograph any visible injuries you or your passengers have sustained. These visual records might serve as evidence later on.
It’s also imperative to notify your insurance company about the accident immediately. After providing all the information, your insurance company will guide you through the claims process and help determine the extent of coverage for repairs and medical expenses.
After you have completed the previous steps, it’s essential to have your car inspected and repaired professionally. Even if the damage seems minor, underlying issues could require attention. Luckily, our dealership has a certified collision center ready to help.
