What
To Do In Case Of An Auto Accident
 |
Auto accidents can be
both a frightening and stressful experience for all those
involved. Here are some tips that you should use after
you are involved in an accident. |
 |
Do not leave the accident
scene. If you are worried about your personal safety or
if your car is creating a traffic hazard, move to a safer
place. However, you should remain in the immediate area. |
 |
Call for medical help
if anyone needs immediate attention. |
 |
Call the police and
follow their instruction. In minor auto accidents, the
police may instruct you to exchange information with the
other driver involved. |
 |
Call the insurance company
as soon as possible to report the accident. |
 |
Never disclose the limits
of your auto policy with the other parties involved. |
 |
Never admit responsibility
for the accident. |
Write down as much vital information
about the accident as possible. Information you need should
include:
1. Vehicle descriptions of all involved autos(year,
make, model, and color)
2. License plate numbers of all vehicles involved
3. Names, addresses, and phone numbers of other drivers AND
passengers
4. Names, addresses, and phone numbers of any witnesses
5. Time, date, and precise location of the accident
6. Give other drivers your name, phone number, insurance company
and policy number. Only give your insurance information to
drivers involved in the accident.
