What to Do in a Car Accident

Most people will get in an accident at some point in their life. And with more than 10 million auto accidents in the U.S. every year, it’s a good idea to know what to do after a minor or serious accident.

Make Sure Everyone is Okay

The safety and health of everyone involved should be your first priority following an accident. Verbally and visually check individuals in both parties and call 911 immediately if anyone is hurt.

Safety Move Your Car

If possible, move you car out of oncoming traffic. Switch on your emergency lights, or better yet, set out warning triangles if you have them. If the car is unmovable and surrounding traffic is considerable, Edmunds.com recommends everyone in the car stay seated after an auto accident with their seatbelts on until authorities arrive.

Call the Police

No matter how serious an accident is or is not, it is a good idea to call the police shortly afterwards. Most insurance policies require a police report for coverage anyway. A police report will be a vital document in sorting out insurance claims afterwards. After talking with the police, call your insurance company.

Get the Other Driver’s Information

The more thoroughly you gather information, the better off you’ll be sorting out red tape after the accident. Try to gather all this data from the driver and other parties on the scene:

• Names, addresses, and phone numbers of the driver and witnesses.
• Driver’s license number and license plate number.
• Name of insurance company and policy number of the other driver.
• Make, model, color, year, and any other defining features of all involved vehicles.
• Exact location.
• Version of events of all parties involved.

If the other driver is not the policyholder of the insured vehicle, record his or her personal information and relationship to the car owner and find out how to contact the policyholder.

Photograph the Scene and Don’t Admit Fault

You should carry a disposal camera in your car to document the scene in case of an accident. If you don’t have a conventional or digital camera handy, use your own—or borrow someone else’s—camera phone. Be liberal with your photo taking, as photos can demonstrate the overall context of the accident. Gather information about the event and contact information from witnesses in case the other party disputes your versions of events. Even if you think the accident was your fault, don’t admit fault just yet. Wait for all the facts to come in. 

A thorough understanding of traffic laws and driving in general helps save lives, including those of the nation’s most vulnerable drivers: teens. Call Adam’s School Of Driving at (847) 929-4355 for quality driving lessons, training, and testing administered by licensed and bonded professionals.

Vital Tips for New and Young Drivers

A car is a dangerous piece of machinery for an inexperienced driver. Learn how to react to emergency situations and other drivers’ actions by going beyond the education of your local DMV.

Professional driving instructor Paul Gerrard explains how a reputable driving school helps new drivers stay safe on the road. He recommends professional driving schools for first-timer drivers. A professional driving school helps drivers learn the physics of the car, the psychology of driving, the physiology of driving, and the sociology of driving with others. He also discourages teens riding with teens. A teen driving alone is nine times more likely to crash than if his or her parents were driving. A teen driving with other teens increases that crash risk another nine times for every teen present in the vehicle.
