If you are in an auto accident, you need to know what steps to take afterwards. Insurance, police reports, etc.
The names and faces have been changed to protect the identity of these accident victims… Understanding that accidents happen every day here in Atlanta (big and small) it is important for me to give you some suggestions on what to do in the event of an accident. When should you call your insurance company? Who is at fault? What’s next?
Below are some real steps you should take, just in case I rambled in the video:
- After the accident, get the other driver’s information (full name, insurance information, and tag number)
- Contact the police and ambulance (if needed). Take photographs, and track down witnesses.
- If it is a minor accident, move your vehicles out of the way of traffic.
- Talk to the police once they arrive and provide as much information as possible.
- Call your insurance agent immediately.
- Let the agent and your insurance company guide you in your next steps.
- Go home and put your feet up. It’s been a bad day…
As always, thanks for watching! See you all next week!
