Eight steps to take after you’ve been in a crash
- Move to a safe location, away from traffic, to avoid further collisions or injuries. Turn on your hazard lights and, if needed, contact emergency services for assistance.
- Once everyone is safe, document the accident by taking photos or videos of the damage to all vehicles involved. Capture multiple angles to provide a comprehensive view. This visual evidence can be valuable for insurance purposes and during the repair process.
- Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver involved in the accident. Obtain their full name, phone number, license plate number, and insurance details.
- Report the accident to the police, especially if there are injuries, significant property damage has occurred, or local laws require it. The police report can be vital for insurance claims and legal proceedings.
- Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible to report the accident and initiate the claims process. We can help you put in an insurance claim at our collision centers.
