A step-by-step checklist of the essential actions to take immediately after an accident to stay safe and protect your claim.
Being involved in a car accident is incredibly stressful. However, knowing exactly what to do can protect your safety and ensure a smooth claims process later on. Here is a step-by-step checklist:
Never leave the scene. Stop your vehicle, turn on your hazard lights, and move to a safe location if possible.
Check yourself and your passengers for injuries. If anyone is hurt, call 999 immediately for an ambulance and the police.
Collect names, addresses, phone numbers, vehicle registration numbers, and insurance details from all parties involved.
Take clear photos and videos of the vehicles, damage, license plates, and the surrounding area (including road signs and weather conditions).
If the accident wasn't your fault, contact us immediately. We can arrange recovery, a replacement vehicle, and manage the entire claim for you at no cost.
