What should you do after a car crash?
July 26, 2021
by n_michael
You felt a bump, a crash, a thump. What do you do next?
The answer to that question can be difficult in the
moments after a collision. No matter how serious the collision is, you’ll
undoubtedly find your heart racing and mind spinning as you consider what just
happened. We want to help put you at ease.
If
you’re involved in a car accident, the first thing to do is take a deep breath.
Get your composure and make sure everyone is OK. Start with your vehicle, then
check on those in the other vehicle. If you have any concerns about injuries,
call 911 for an ambulance. As for police? Even if it’s only a minor
fender-bender, you’ll want to report the accident. It will make things much
easier when it comes to getting things repaired.
While
you wait for help to arrive, make sure you and your passengers are in a safe
place. Use your vehicle’s hazard lights to help other motorists see you. When
it’s safe to do so, document the facts about the accident, noting how many people
and vehicles were involved as well as specific damages or even weather-related
conditions. Calling your insurance agent would be a great idea.
Avoid discussing the particulars of the accident with
those in the other vehicle. Be caring and compassionate. Make sure the
occupants of the other vehicles are safe. But only talk about the accident with
the police officer and your insurance company. The minutes and hours after a
car accident can be an emotional time and you may not be thinking clearly.
That’s why even if you feel like the accident is your fault, refrain from
telling anyone you’re responsible. Let the authorities and your insurance
company sort through the facts.
As much as we wish accidents would never happen, they do
happen. They happen every minute of every day, with more than 6 million crashes
each year in the United States. So stay safe and know there are people just a
phone call away who can help you when the need arises.
