What To Do In The Event of An Accident
1.
MOVE TO A SAFE AREA (IF YOU CAN)
If you arent seriously injured and it is safe, move your car out of the way of traffic to the
shoulder. In the event that this is not possible, activate your hazard lights to indicate your
vehicle is disabled.
2.
Stop your vehicle and get out
Make sure your car is no longer moving, turn off the engine, shift into park, or set the hand brake if you drive a manual. Take a moment to catch your breath. Check to make sure it’s safe to get out of your car before opening the door. If you have flares or similar road safety items,
consider using them.
3.
CHECK ON OTHERS INVOLVED
Check on all the other parties involved, including drivers, passengers, and pedestrians, to make sure no one is hurt. Call 911 if anyone may be injured. Even a seemingly minor symptom like dizziness should be checked out by a health care professional.
4.
CALL THE POLICE TO THE SCENE
Even in minor accidents, a police accident report can prove invaluable when dealing with your car insurance company and other drivers. Cooperate fully, but avoid admitting fault or blaming others while at the scene. Let the police objectively judge events and determine who, if anyone, is at fault in the crash. If the police can’t make it to the scene, you can file an accident report through your state’s DMV.
