How to Behave After an Auto
Accident
Accidents happen when we
least expect them. Auto
accidents are no exception.
Here are some steps to take if you are involved
in a crash:
• Most important, establish whether anyone is
injured. If so, call 911
immediately.
• Unless you are blocking traffic, try not to
move cars until the police arrive.
However, safety is your
first priority. If you feel
unsafe, move your car to
the side of the road.
• If there are no injuries or an accident occurs
on private property, the police may not
respond. Be sure to obtain complete insurance
information and identification. Write down
the license plate number and the vehicle
identification number (VIN).
One party may not want to call the police and
accepts blame at the scene. This may be an
option, providing you have the contact
information of neutral witnesses – passersby
who witnessed the accident (not your
passengers). But note: Once the at-fault party
realizes rates will increase, the story may
change. It’s always best to call the police and ask
them to respond.
• At the scene, do not argue about who is at
fault. Exchange information and tell the other
party he or she will hear from your insurance
carrier.
• If you have your cell phone, take pictures or a
video of the accident scene.
Call your agent right away.
Most insurance companies
have toll-free numbers to
report your claim, and
reporting delays can jeopardize
your coverage. Keep your
insurance card in your vehicle
so that you can prove you have up-to-date
coverage.
• Consider carrying
flares in your trunk.
Many of us drive for years without an accident.
However, as distracted driving grows, accidents
will increase. It is always better to hope for the
best but prepare for the worst.
