ACCIDENT RECOVERY
Car accidents unfortunately do happen, so it’s important to know what to do if you have an accident. By dealing with the accident with the correct steps, you can stop an unpleasant situation becoming worse and help ensure that you get the support and financial assistance from the insurance company when you need it.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO IMMEDIATELY AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT
✭ Stop! No matter how minor that you think a car accident is you must stop. In fact, failing to do so is a criminal offence under the Road Traffic Act.
✭ You should make sure your car’s engine is switched off and then turn your hazard lights on to alert other road users to your presence.
✭ If anyone has been injured in the car accident you should call the police (and an ambulance if necessary) as soon as possible.
✭ The police should also be called if the car accident is blocking the road or if you feel that a driver deliberately causes an accident to make a fraudulent insurance claim.
✭ If no one is injured and it is safe to do so, it can be beneficial to take photos of your vehicle and any other vehicles involved and start collecting essential information about any person or vehicle involved and of any witnesses.
✭ Call 999 immediately if someone leaves the scene of a car accident without providing their details.
