Many people are frazzled after being involved in a car accident. Because of this, it's important for you to know what to do if you're involved in a collision before you have one. The first step toward being prepared for what to do after an accident is to know where you'll bring your car for repairs. Find a local body shop like ours and keep its name, address, and phone number in your glove box so you can tell a driver where to tow your vehicle if necessary.

Steps to Take After an Accident
It's critical for you to put safety first after you've been in an accident. If possible, maneuver your car to the side of the road, out of the way of oncoming traffic. Put your vehicle in park, turn on your hazard lights, and set up flares or reflective triangles to warn other drivers. Relocate yourself, your passengers, and others involved in the collision to a safe place away from the road.
Once you're in a safe place, call the police. Even if you just suspect someone's injured, call an ambulance as well. Exchange information with the other drivers involved in the collision and take pictures of the scene, including any damage your automobile sustained. Do not discuss who may have been responsible for the accident or sign any documents under any circumstances.
If your car is inoperable, request roadside assistance. If you need collision repairs in Orlando, contact us and let us know your car is on its way to our location. Contact your insurance agent and let the person know you need to file a claim.
