Before Reporting Your Car Accident

Immediately after a car accident, it’s important to take safety steps to stay out of harm’s way. Consider the following steps to take after a car accident:

  1. Ensure you and your passengers are safe.
  2. Call 911 immediately. Only discuss accident details with the police and your insurer to avoid misconstrued statements.
  3. Move vehicles off the roadway and away from further harm, if possible.
  4. Exchange driver information (name, phone number, tag numbers, and insurance information).
  5. Take photographs of the vehicles and accident scene to include with your claim.
  6. Obtain reporting law enforcement information (case number and reporting agency).

After you have completed these steps, report the car accident by calling your local agent, claims call center, or by reporting online as quickly as possible to prevent coverage issues. During the claims process, your claims representative will gather the facts about your accident and explain your policy coverages, limits, and deductible.
