Here's what to do if you've been involved in a car accident.....

Let's talk about your claims process after you've called emergency services and made sure you and your passengers are safe .

1. Wait for the police to arrive.

2. If it's safe to do so...Take photos of the accident and vehicles involved.

3. It's recommended to call the at-fault insurance company because that party is liable for damages and injuries.

4. You'll find this information on the police report.

5. You'll need to reach out to your insurance agent next so they can file an accident report to the DMV.

6. To do this, you need to provide them with a copy of the police report. The insurance company will give you your next steps to follow based on how they handle claims.

Now, let's talk about you and your vehicle .

1. The police on the scene will offer you tow truck options.

2. We recommend you use one of these options to take your vehicle to a repair shop or a dealership.

3. From here, it's up to you to find a way to get to where you need to go.

4. You can call a friend, call a cab, get a ride from the police or the tow truck.

If you have any questions, reach out to your insurance agent. We're here to help.
