How To Deal With A Car Accident
Annually, thousands of people in the United States perish in car accidents and many more are injured. If you survive the ordeal, do you know how to act later? Knowing what to do is essential because this can minimize injuries, keep costs down and hasten the repair process.
Start by being prepared. Have an emergency kit hidden in your glove compartment. Make it a point to carry a mobile phone, pen and paper to take notes, a flashlight, a disposable camera to take pics of the vehicles, and a card with information about your allergies or conditions that require special attention. Likewise keep a list of contact numbers of law enforcement agencies if you need to call them. Other essential items that you can put in the trunk are a set of cones, warning triangles or emergency flares.
If you’ve figured in a minor accident and have no serious injuries, move your vehicle to the side of the road and out of the way of other vehicles. Leaving your car in the middle of the road can lead to more accidents and injuries. If you cant move your car, stay in the vehicle with seat belts on until help arrives. Switch on hazard lights and use cones, flares or warning triangles to alert other vehicles of your problem.
Swap information with the other driver. Know his name, address, phone number, insurance company, policy number, driver license number and license plate number. If the driver’s name is not similar to the one insured, find out know how they are related and get the name and address of all people.
Get details of every vehicle involved in the accident – the year, make, model and color – including the exact spot of the accident. Remain polite and remain as calm as you possibly can. Having a clear head will allow you to make decisions that can reduce unnecessary burdens in the future.
