Accidents can happen, even when you’re doing everything right. If your car gets damaged unexpectedly, here’s what you should do:
Stay safe and check for injuries. Call 911 if needed.
Document the scene: take photos, exchange info, and gather witness statements.
File a police report. It helps protect you later, even for minor damage.
Contact your insurance. They can walk you through the next steps.
Surprises on the road happen—knowing what to do can make a stressful situation easier to handle.
