What to Do After a Car Accident

If you are involved in an automobile accident, contact the police immediately. Don’t make any assumptions; be forthright with authorities and the insurer. Some victims might try to make amends even though they are completely harmless. Such behavior can be used by the insurer to deny a claim. As a result, you shouldn’t behave like that.

If you request it, the relevant authorities must give you a complete copy of the report. This page also features a simple online form for your use.
