What to do after an auto accident
Auto accidents: Even the most careful drivers may be involved.
Knowledge of what to do after the
accident can make the experience a little less frightening and
decrease the chance of unnecessary complications.
After an Accident
- Check for injuries. Life
and health are more important than damage to vehicles.
- Make note of specific
damages to all vehicles involved.
- Write down the names,
addresses and license numbers of persons involved in the
accident. Also, write a description of the other
vehicles.
- Call the police, even if
the accident is minor.
Jot down names and addresses of
anyone who may have witnessed the accident. This can
prevent disagreement concerning how the accident
actually happened.

Other Do's and Don'ts

the accident, the location, and circumstances such as
weather conditions and visibility.
- DO notify your insurance
agent about the accident immediately.

unless it is for the police or your insurance agent
