Accidents happen, hence why they are called accidents, since we never mean for them to happen.
But when a car accident occurs, do you know what is required by law for you to do?
I, of course hope you never have to use these tips, but in the instance that an accident happens, you should know how to respond.
1. Stay At The Scene Of An Accident.
Never drive away no matter who is at fault. You must always remain on scene.
2. Prevent More Accidents
You can do this by keeping flares and flashlights on hand so people can see you.
3. Call 9-11
Even if the accident is minor, your insurance might need a report from the police.
4. Never Guess What Caused The Accident
Not only is it important to tell the actual events that occurred, it too can help in figuring if you sustained any injuries, as most show up hours later.
5. File A Claim With Insurance
Make sure you notify your insurance company of any damages obtained during the accident and find out if they cover the damages.
Always be on high alert when driving and decrease any distractions to do your best to prevent any accidents from occurring. Stay safe out there!
