What Should You Do After An Auto Accident
Anyone who has been involved in an auto accident knows how traumatic it can be when your world turns upside down in a matter of seconds. We have provided this guide to help in case this happens to you.
1 – After an accident, look ahead and continue to safely pull your vehicle off to the side of the road.
Being involved in an accident can be a very traumatizing and scary event. Please remember to stay inside your car and navigate your way to the side of the road where you can distance yourself from oncoming traffic.
2 – If someone is injured, you need to do your best to try and get them help.
Do not leave the scene until help has arrived. Remember to be very careful when someone is injured in an accident, because they may have internal injuries that require caution from moving them.
3 – Accidents where there is injury, death or property damage exceeding $1,500 require you to contact law enforcement.
If you are not able to contact law enforcement as a result of the accident, ask your passenger to make contact for you.
4 – Share and receive contact information.
Provide your name, address, registration number, auto insurance provider, auto insurance phone number, insurance agent name, and telephone number. This will allow ease of communication to resolve the claim.
Accidents happen all of the time. They can be very disruptive and cause a tremendous amount of inconvenience and injury. By following this process you can avoid unnecessary disruption, cost and pain.
