Sooner or later it will get cold, and snowy, and there will be more car accidents. It's one of the things you come to terms with when you decide to live in the Toledo area.
As a broker for auto insurance we frequently get questions about what to do after a car accident. One of our many carriers (Travelers) makes it simple:
1. Move out of the way of traffic and turn on your hazard warning lights.
2. Call the police even in a minor accident. If someone is injured, request medical assistance. If fire is involved, request fire department aid.
3. Do not discuss the accident with anyone other than the police..
4. Exchange necessary information with the other driver(s). Be sure to write down the other driver's name, address, phone number, license plate number and insurance information. Also write down the contact information of all witnesses.
5. Report the accident as soon as possible. The faster you report your claim, the sooner we can get you back on the road.
If you are in an accident and the commotion creates confusion please call us. We are here to help and want to make a difficult situation as simple as possible.
