AAA
Whether it’s a fender-bender or serious crash, car accidents are nerve-racking. Our checklist will guide you through steps to take immediately after a crash, and in following days.
Before a crash
- The best way to prepare for the unexpected is to be equipped beforehand. Keep these items in your vehicle at all times: vehicle registration and proof of insurance, pen and paper, emergency kit, and contact information of your preferred repair shop.
After a crash
- Assess the scene
- If possible, check on others involved in the collision to determine if there are injuries. Call 911 if you or others need medical attention.
- Think safety
- If there are no injuries and your vehicle is operable, turn on the hazard lights and safely move your car away from traffic. Do not leave the scene.
