Make Sure No One is Seriously Injured
Make sure that you, your passengers, and others involved are okay. If anyone is injured, call an ambulance or get other qualified help.
Make Sure You’re Safe
Wherever you are, be sure other vehicles on the roadway can see you. Turn on hazard lights to alert other drivers on the road. If you have safety triangles or cones, use them.
Call the Police
Even if no one was hurt, call the police if other people, cars, or property are involved in the accident. The police may not come to the scene but it’s important they know about the accident. Reporting the accident can also help protect you if there are any issues with others involved on the scene or after the fact.
Exchange Information with Others Involved
Do not admit fault or liability. Be sure to write down basic contact information for everyone involved, including:
- Name
- Address
- Phone Number
- License Plate Number
- Driver’s License Number
- Insurance Company and Policy Number
To help document the crash: Take photos of the scene and any damage to the vehicles involved.
Remain Calm
Accidents are stressful. Remain calm and professional. Do not argue with the police or any others involved in the accident.
Contact Your Insurance Company
Report accidents as soon as possible. No matter who is at fault or how small the accident appears, it's important to let your insurance company know what happened and have your questions answered.
