That\u2019s my motto when it comes to planning for the unexpected \u2013 and unfortunate \u2013 car accident. And if you don\u2019t have a crystal ball that tells you when an accident will happen, the next best thing is to know what to do afterwards.\u00a0Because let\u2019s get real, it can happen to anyone, any time, any place. Here\u2019s my advice for what to do after a car accident: Check for injuries:\u00a0Are you and your passengers ok? Check yourselves for bleeding and injuries, did you hurt your neck or back? Try not to move. Get to safety:\u00a0If you can, move your car slowly out of harm\u2019s way to the shoulder of the highway, next to the sidewalk or a parking lot. If you can\u2019t, then try to get yourself and your passengers out of the car and out of harm\u2019s way, by walking away from the accident. Call 911:\u00a0If you are injured you may need to call an ambulance for help. If you are in a serious accident or other people are injured you may also need to call the police so they can document the scene of the accident. Calling the police is also important because their documentation of the accident will help you with any insurance claims. \u00a0\u00a0 Wait for help:\u00a0Turn off your car\u2019s engine, turn on the hazards and wait for help. This will alert other drivers to slow down. Exchange information:\u00a0Most states require this step, and it will help your insurance company provide you the support you need. Exchange the following contact information with the other driver: Full name Address and phone Insurance company name and policy number Driver\u2019s license number License plate Vehicle make, model, color Accident location, date, time Document what happened:\u00a0For your protection, and to help with the insurance claims process, make sure you get the following information: Police report, including names of the officers at the scene Take pictures of the accident with your phone Names of people involved, including passengers and witnesses Your own notes about what happened, road conditions, weather, what the other car was doing, etc. Call your insurance company and file a claim:\u00a0Call your insurance company to get help with next steps, such as having an adjuster inspect your car and filing a claim. A car accident can be really shocking, and although there is no guarantee that it won\u2019t happen, the next best thing is to know what do do in case of an accident so that you can manage it properly.
