What to do after a car accident
It is important to take precautions and be prepared in case of a car accident. Be prepared by having your insurance card in an easy to access location and if your insurance company has an app, add the app to your phone.
If you do happen to be involved in an auto accident, here are some actions that you should take:
- Keep calm and assess the situation.
- Make sure that you are safe and not in any immediate danger.
- Get your insurance card and call your insurance company to report the accident.
- Exchange insurance information with the other driver.
- If there are any injuries, call for an ambulance and wait for help to arrive.
- Turn on hazard lights if your car is blocking traffic or needs assistance from law enforcement.
- Take photos of the damage done to both cars if possible.
