Accidents Happen
We at MIG are here to make this process as fast and easy as possible, so you can get back to your life. Here are some tips on what to do to stay safe and to get the best results in the situation after an accident.
Stop and Determine the Extent of Injury/Damage
If you are involved in an automobile accident, the most important thing to do is to stay calm. One must stop and assess the situation, and if possible, move the car to a safe area on the side of the road. Make sure that neither you nor your passengers are injured.
Call Emergency Services
As soon as it is safe to do so, call 911 or another appropriate emergency services number. Police will be able to further assess the situation and make sure that anyone in need of medical attention will be properly cared for.
Collect Information
Gather as much information as you can about the accident and about the other party/parties involved. Take photos of the accident and the surroundings, but not of the individuals involved. Write down the names, addresses, phone numbers and drivers licenses of all drivers and as many witnesses as possible.
Do NOT Admit Liability
Legally, the insurance companies and the police are the only ones who can determine liability. Do not discuss the accident with anyone except the police and your claims representative.
