What to Do After an Auto Accident

Being involved in an auto accident can be stressful, but knowing what steps to take can help ensure your safety and make the claims process smoother. Follow these steps after an auto accident:

Step 1: Ensure Safety

Check yourself and passengers for injuries. If anyone is injured, call 911 immediately. If it is safe to do so, move your vehicle to the side of the road to avoid blocking traffic.

Step 2: Call the Police

Report the accident to the police, even if it seems minor. An official police report can be crucial for your insurance claim. Provide the officers with accurate information about the incident.

Step 3: Exchange Information

Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver(s) involved. This includes names, phone numbers, addresses, driver’s license numbers, license plate numbers, and insurance policy numbers.

Step 4: Document the Scene

Take photos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, license plates, and any relevant road conditions or traffic signs. If there are witnesses, get their contact information as well.

Step 5: Notify Your Insurance Company

Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the accident. Provide them with all the gathered information and details about the incident. You can reach us at [Customer Service Phone Number] or through our online claims portal.

Step 6: Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine, it is important to seek medical attention after an accident. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Keep records of all medical visits and treatments related to the accident.

Step 7: Follow Up on Your Claim

Work with your insurance claims adjuster to process your claim. Provide any additional information or documentation they may need. Keep track of your claim status and follow up if necessary.
