What to do after a car accident

a car parked on the side of a road

While states continue to re-open, that means there are more people on the road and increased risk of accidents.  While we hope you never have to use them, below are some steps to follow in the event you are in an accident.

Stay Calm
If you are not in immediate danger, take a deep breath and collect yourself as remaining calm will help you manage the process after an accident.

Help the Injured
Check on everyone else involved in the crash and call 911 for those needing medical attention.

Stay at the Scene
If possible, move your vehicle to a safe place out of the way and turn on your hazard lights.  Remain at the scene until help arrives.

Contact the Police
If the police don’t come to the scene, make sure to file an accident report at a police station as soon as possible.

Gather Information
Exchange information with everyone involved, including witnesses, and take photos or video of the scene if possible to help the insurance claim process go smoothly.

Contact your Insurance Agency
Your insurance agent can help determine if a claim is necessary to file.  If you would like to file a claim, the sooner your insurer is aware of the accident, the sooner the claim process can begin.

 
Contact us today with any questions!
