What To Do After A Car Accident In San Francisco

While no one can foresee a car crash or collision, knowing how to react properly in the moments immediately following the accident can help safeguard your rights.

Here are the steps you need to take:

1. Stay Calm – Don’t panic and stay at the scene.  Ensure everyone involved is okay, starting with yourself. If there are injuries, call 911 immediately.
2. Secure the Scene – If it’s safe to do so, move your car off the road. Turn on hazard lights to warn other drivers.
3. Call the Police – Report the accident to the police, even for minor incidents. An official report is crucial for insurance claims.
4. Exchange Information – Collect names, phone numbers, and insurance details from all the involved drivers. Take pictures of the scene, including license plates.
5. Stick to the Facts – Avoid admitting fault or assigning blame. Cooperate with law enforcement, but do not discuss the accident beyond the factual details.
6. Inform Your Insurance Company – Call your insurance company promptly to notify them about the accident. Follow their instructions to initiate the claims process.
7. Speak to Insurance Adjusters – After the accident, you may receive a call from the other party’s insurance company. While it’s essential to cooperate, avoid divulging unnecessary information. Refrain from recording statements or accepting settlement offers until you’ve consulted an attorney.
8. Create an Organized File – Gather all accident-related documents and keep them in one place. Your file should include the police report, medical bills, details of the other driver, injury treatment plans, and any other relevant paperwork.
