If you were involved in a vehicle collision you need to know what to do.

• Record the name, address and phone number of the other driver. Write down the make and license number of all vehicles involved. You’ll want to get as much information as you can about the other driver’s insurance agent, policy and insurance company.
• Don’t forget to collect the names, addresses and phone numbers of passengers and witnesses. Since many cases end up with the parties blaming each other, third-party witnesses can be important. Don’t hesitate to approach anyone who may have seen the crash.
• Be careful of what you say. Don’t talk about fault; even casual remarks can be used in court.
• Notify your insurance agent immediately. The faster we get information, the faster we can act. Discuss the accident only with your agent and, of course, with the police.
• Examine the damage carefully. Take photos if possible, particularly if the accident occurred on private property, such as a parking lot.
• Without being overly suspicious, observe the other driver’s actions. If the other driver later claims to have a serious injury, what you notice could be important.
• With technology, every cell phone has a camera. Take pictures of and the photographs could easily become an important witness to what actually occurred.
• Stay calm.
