A Car Accident
A clear, step-by-step guide for the moments after a collision. Bookmark this page.
Make Sure Everyone Is Safe
Check yourself and passengers for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 911 immediately. If your vehicle is drivable, move to a safe location and turn on hazard lights.
Call The Police
Even for minor accidents, a police report creates an official record. Stay calm, stick to facts, and get the report number.
Exchange Information
Collect the other driver's name, phone, insurance company, policy number, and license plate. Get witness contact info too.
Document Everything
Take photos of all damage, the accident scene, road conditions, and any visible injuries.
Contact Your Insurance Company
Report the accident as soon as possible. Provide the facts but avoid speculating about fault.
