What To Do If You Are in a Car Accident
It’s summertime and many of us are excited to get out and enjoy the warmer weather. Along with fun summer activities and travel, comes an increase in people on the road - and unfortunately car accidents. We hope it never happens to you or your loved ones, but in the unfortunate event that you’re in an accident, it’s good to have a roadmap to follow (especially during a time were most of us aren’t thinking clearly). PRINT and then store this checklist in your glove compartment or somewhere that’s easily accessible. It’s a great resource for new drivers to have on hand in case of emergency too.
CHECKLIST
Stay calm and assess the situation
Call 911 to report the accident and any injuries
Move to a safe location and determine if anyone is injured
Take photos of both vehicles, any damage, the scene, and license plates
