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!

Put savings to the side for a minute, Atlanta; How is your auto insurance policy really working for you?
Everyday we are bombarded with insurance ads telling us how much we can save by switching to ____________ insurance company. I’m on my soap box today to emphasize that, while savings are important, they are irrelevant if the coverage is not adequate in a time of need.
25,000/50,000/25,000 – the state minimum here in Georgia for auto insurance liability coverage. That first number, 25k is how much your insurance company would pay for one person’s medical bills if you were at fault in the accident that caused their injuries. $25,000? That could easily be spent in just a few nights in the hospital. What would you do if total damages equaled $60,000? Pay out of pocket?
I’m not posting this as a scare tactic; I don’t believe in that. I’m posting this because it is real.
If you’re insurance policy does not provide you with adequate coverage, then the premium you are paying is simply money wasted. Period.

Helping you understand the term “Full Coverage” when considering your auto insurance options:
