Accident spot
Stay at the Scene
� At the scene of the accident :� The first and the most obvious point is to stay at the accident spot instead of flying from the scene. There are serious penalties for hit-and-run drivers.
Call the police
Exchange contact information with the other drivers involved.
Talk to witnesses and obtain their contact information. If possible, record what they tel you.
If possible, take photos of the accident scene and the damage to your vehicle.
Be careful while talking to the parties involved in the accident. Apologies and admissions to fault can be used against you when trying to reach a settlement.
Its better to talk with the Police rather than with the involved parties. Talk to them only if the situation necessitates.
Beyond the scene of the accident:� After the police have arrived and you are free to leave the scene, contact your insurance company and let them know what happened.
Rather than engaging� with the insurance companies by yourself , its better to contact a personal injury attornal. He will asssess the details of the accident and your injuries and negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf in order to obtain a more favourable settlement.
