What to Do After a Car Accident

Those who are engaged in a car crash should always contact the police. Don’t speculate or make up details if the police or insurer ask you about the incident; just tell them what happened. The fact that the victim is innocent and is making amends could be used against them by the insurance company in a claim.

If you ask for it, the appropriate authorities must give you a complete copy of the report. This page also features a fillable online form for your convenience.
