Tips if You're Involved in a Car Accident



Car accidents can be very stressful. Read the tips below to learn what you should do if you're involved in a care accident:
  • Stay Calm - Keeping a normal demeanor helps you stay in control of the situation.
  • Make sure you and your passengers are OK -  Move as far off the roadway as possible, but stay at the scene of the accident. Warn oncoming traffic by activating your hazard warning lights and/or setting flares.
  •  Call the police - Call 911 or the appropriate emergency number to report the accident.
  • Contact your insurance company and report the claim -  The sooner your insurance company knows about the accident, the sooner they can start working to resolve your claim.
  • Do not admit fault -  Do not discuss the car accident with anyone other than the police and your claims representative.
  • Exchange vital information with the other driver involved in the car accident -  Write down the name, address, phone number and license numbers for all drivers and witnesses, particularly those who were not riding in a vehicle involved in the accident. Ask for the insurance companies and policy numbers for drivers involved in the car accident.
