Here's what to do if you've been involved in a car accident.....
Let's talk about your claims process after you've called emergency services and made sure you and your passengers are safe.
- Wait for the police to arrive.
- If it's safe to do so...Take photos of the accident and vehicles involved.
- It's recommended to call the at-fault insurance company because that party is liable for damages and injuries.
- You'll find this information on the police report.
- You'll need to reach out to your insurance agent next so they can file an accident report to the DMV.
- To do this, you need to provide them with a copy of the police report. The insurance company will give you your next steps to follow based on how they handle claims.
Now, let's talk about you and your vehicle.
- The police on the scene will offer you tow truck options.
- We recommend you use one of these options to take your vehicle to a repair shop or a dealership.
- From here, it's up to you to find a way to get to where you need to go.
- You can call a friend, call a cab, get a ride from the police or the tow truck.
If you have any questions, reach out to your insurance agent. We're here to help.
