First, ensure everyone is safe. Call 911 immediately if there are injuries. Do not move injured persons unless absolutely necessary.
If possible, move vehicles out of traffic to prevent further accidents. Turn on hazard lights and set up warning flares or triangles.
Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, license plates, and any visible injuries. Collect witness contact information.
Understanding your rights and options after a collision
Serious accidents often require legal assistance, especially when there are injuries, disputed liability, or complex insurance issues.
Most states require an official police report for accidents with injuries or significant damage. This becomes crucial evidence.
Some injuries appear hours or days later. Proper documentation is essential for insurance claims or legal action.
How to handle claims and communications with insurance companies
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible after the accident, even if you weren't at fault. Most policies require prompt notification.
Review your policy to understand what's covered (medical payments, rental car, etc.) and your deductible amounts.
Insurance adjusters may contact you quickly. Be factual but cautious in statements. Never admit fault or sign anything without review.
You have the right to choose your repair shop. Get multiple estimates if needed. Beware of insurers pushing specific shops.
Every year, millions of automobile accidents occur on U.S. roads. Being informed helps you stay protected.
