At Steve Schmitt Auto Group, we know that road safety is a top consideration among local drivers. We want you to stay safe, too; that's why we're offering these tips for how to handle an accident.
The first thing to do in an accident is to take control of the scene. First, make sure anyone that's injured gets help, and call 911 if needed. If you can do so safely, make sure everyone and all of the vehicles are out of traffic.
Once everyone is out of harm's way, it's time to contact the police. While you wait, take photos and get insurance information from other vehicle owners. Once you file a police report, get in touch with your insurance company to file a claim before calling for repairs. Are you in need of a road-safe vehicle?
