What to Do After an Auto Accident

By James H. 10/16/2022

If you are involved in a car accident, there are a few things you should do to protect yourself and make the process easier.

First, make sure you are safe. If you are injured, call 911. If you are not injured, but the other driver is, call the police.
Next, make sure you exchange information with the other driver. This includes your name, address, phone number, insurance information, and driver's license number.
If the accident is minor, you may not need to report it to your insurance company. However, if there is damage to either car, you should report it.
If the other driver is at fault, you may be able to file a claim against their insurance. However, if you are at fault, you will likely have to pay for the damages yourself.

If you are in an accident, follow these steps to make the process easier. 

1. Make sure you are safe. If you are in a hazardous area, move to a safe place. If you are injured, call for help.

2. Gather information. Get the other driver's name, address, phone number, insurance information, and license plate number.

3. Take pictures. If you can safely take pictures of the accident scene, do so. This will help with the insurance claim process.

4. Notify your insurance company. As soon as possible, call your insurance company and report the accident.

5. Cooperate with the insurance company. Be honest and forthcoming with the insurance company. Answer their questions and provide them with any documentation they request.

6. Seek legal assistance. If you have been injured in the accident, you may want to seek legal assistance. A lawyer can help you file a claim and get the compensation you deserve.
