Safety First

After a crash the most important consideration is personal safety. Assess the situation to determine if you or others involved have any obvious injuries and obtain immediate medical assistance if you/they do. While this is an obvious step for most drivers, some forget the second safety consideration–particularly if the accident is minor, a “fender bender.” Make sure that you (and passengers) are safely out of the way of an active traffic pattern. Too often, secondary crashes happen while vehicles involved in the initial wreck are still on or near the roadway, their drivers waiting for law enforcement to arrive.

On-Scene Response

Once you (and others) are personally secure, think through the various aspects of the situation. If possible, take multiple pictures of the scene. Be sure to capture damage to all vehicles involved. Also, make note of the name and contact information for each witness, particularly if the individual(s) appears to be leaving the scene before speaking with a law officer. Once a law enforcement representative arrives, follow his/her directives, moving your auto when and where asked as well as answering questions. Answer honestly. It’s okay to say you don’t know something if you don’t actually have the information being requested. Don’t try to manufacture answers.

Post-Scene Recovery

In the hours and days after the scene is cleared, assemble all the evidence you have, including pictures and the official accident report. (This report can usually be obtained from the responding law enforcement agency either in person or online at a later date.) This will help ensure that nothing is lost, important because you’ll need all relevant information to share with your insurance company. Be sure to notify your insurance company as well as the insurer of the other vehicle(s). Finally, bring your auto to Xtreme Auto Collision. We’ll assist you with estimates, insurance claims, and rental cars as well as make your car beautiful again.
