So you’re driving down the street with your family and/or friends and suddenly you and another vehicle hit each other and now you are in a state of panic in the driver seat. You can follow some of these guidelines to help you through your problem.
Try to stay calm. After a collision, a person being able to handle the situation can be affected because of emotions. You need to find a way to stay calm and do whatever methods are best for you. You can handle the situation better if you’re in a calm state.
You need to check for injuries. There may be people injured, depending on the seriousness of the accident. Call an ambulance if the injuries are more serious but if they’re only minor, then you can assist with injured person.
You should also call the police. Once the people are safe call the local police and update them with the current facts. You need to give them facts and give them concise answers like “I was driving 40 miles per hour” instead of I wasn’t speeding.”
Write everything down. Get the information of anyone directly involved in the accident such as their names, driver license numbers, date of births, addresses. You should also take down the cars’ license number and state that issued the license of the cars involved in the accident as well as the license number and state that issued the license of cars nearby as the police can track them down to use as witnesses.
At once, call your insurance agent. Call your agent, the sooner the better for you. They will give you information that will help you get over this problem and get you back onto your life.
Don’t sign any document that is unfamiliar. If you don’t know what it is, then signing it would be a moronic practice. The police and your insurance agent will be explaining what you’re signing.
Call your lawyer. The sooner you get into contact with your lawyer, the better it is for you. In order for you to better understand the situation you’re in, they can clarify any legal ramifications that you may question about your accident.
Asking questions is also important. If you don’t ask questions, the police, your lawyer and insurance agent will give you information and they’ll assume you already know everything. Rather than finding out how it can hurt you later, it’s better to ask now if you’re confused about something.
